Good things are happening

Finally!  The sun came out for more than an hour at a time!  What a difference that makes in your general attitude and outlook! Selah and I played soccer, ran, joined other adults (me) in volleyball, what a difference!  We have been inside and I have only been with children for weeks now.  11 children 3 days a week and then my own the rest of the time.

But this has been worth the wait.

Today, we had a fabulous day.  We went to Portland again and hocked around in the rain up there.  Then, we had a lunch/picnic together, just her and I.  She needs this I think because when I am teacher in preschool with her, it is hard for her to share me.  Then, we came home and went down to the park here on base.  We jumped on the trampoline together and then laid down to see if we could see any animals in the clouds.  Just us two.  Then, we rolled over (it's a big trampoline) and over and bumped into each other and giggled at when we got bonked.  It was awesome.

Then, our  congregational leader/rabbi and his wife and family came to the base for a tour.  That was a pleasant surprise as Selah LOVES the oldest daughter.   Right before that she was riding a bike with one of her new best friends.  Great day for her!

At Hebrew school I finally got some words.  I have been semi studying for years but never seem to retain it or understand.  I found just the right teacher.  This is something I have wanted to learn for at least 10 years so it is very exciting for me.  I am also learning piano after many years of lapse.

Things are different here but there is just such vibrance, such joy, such LIFE!
