Here we three are, going to watch a movie, and have just been skyped by Tris. He's in Tokyo attending an IB (international baccalaureate) conference, and the kids and I are hanging out at home. Matthew just returned from a 2 night spiritual retreat at a beach resort outside of Jakarta. Unfortunately the kids weren't allowed to swim in the water at the beach because of strong undercurrents, but he had a great time doing all the other stuff you do at camp. We had a good talk about what he experienced and I love his insight on life. Abby built a 'mouse trap machine' according to class instructions (use your imagination and whatever supplies you have available; build a bunch of 'simple machines' to create a more elaborate complex machine) and received 2nd place standing. Tris has met 2 other teachers who are attending the same conference and they spent the evening checking out various places in Tokyo. He's having a good time and is learning a lot. Not much info here on our end. We received 3 pieces of mail last week and that was a treat!!
This is just a post to let you know that we're doing okay and that we are keepin' on.
Thanks for reading.

KIm: Just read your blog..an't find a picture of your new SUV?? Your snake adventure was quite amusing (I guess not for the snake)
Love the pictures, by the way. Re your tenny tiny ants, if you wash your floors with a strong bleach and water solution that should chase them away.It worked for me in Malaysia. I hope the print you saw and thought was dingy was not one of mine!!?? ANyway, it doesn't metter now that you.ve seen the light and like them. Hope to see Dale in the next 10 days or so to deliver books.
