We noted on the calendar that it's been six months since we left home. Which follows that on the 3rd of February, we have been here in Lynden for six months too! Amazing how the time has flown by!
This week was a much quieter week! I even got to cleaning up some cupboards!
Jaclyn and Stefan have been busy playing their basketball games. In three weeks time they have their finals, so the pressure is on! They are doing really well. On Thursday Jaclyn and their team went to Credo school in Langley and played against their girls. On Friday, the teachers in the Fraser Valley had a PD day (here it is called Pro D day), so all the students had the day off. However, the Orcas Island Christian School asked if the students from Cornerstone Christian would come and play against them. So the basketball teams from years 9 to 12 together with the coaches and a few fans went to Orcas which is about 2 and half hours away including a ride on the ferry. They had a great day and played really well. They didn't win but only lost by a few points.
Here's a few photos of the day (courtesy of Bernice V!)

Beautiful sunset!
Mt Baker in all its glory! Majestic!
In kindergarten, Shantel's class is talking about communities. This week they visited the post office. They had to write up their own name and address on the front of the envelope and then posted it when at the post office. The next day I filmed Shantel going to our letterbox and discovering her mail! Priceless!
The girls did a craft glueing coloured wool making a rainbow.
A beautiful sunrise one day this week
Today (Saturday) was a 'no screen' day so the girls decided to dress-up. And then they did a little dance!
And some more differences:
PD day = Pro D day
Excursion = field trip
wool = yarn
Well, that's it for this week. Thanks for looking!
