Boys and Bananas

Cale and I took a walk the other day.  A father came running towards us with his two naked boys when he saw that I had a camera.  He pushed them at me and kept saying, ‘Photo, photo.’  So here some pictures of them:

I also wanted to take a picture of the banana trees here.  It is so cool how the banana fruit grows down from the middle of the stalk.  Did you know you can eat that?

Cale was so excited when he found something that looked like the nuts that fall at Grammo’s house. (acorns).  It wasn’t really-no oak trees here.  Then he had to pretend to be a superhero and lift the bamboo pole to show off his strength.

Cale keeps asking God to turn him into a superhero that can turn its’ head all the way around and fly.  So far, he is still just my crazy, daredevilish 4 year old little boy that jumps off of everything and runs as fast as the wind.  Sophie (Grade 3) is eight and is not embarrassed to tell you that she loves school.  And homework is the best!  She thrives in a school setting especially if it stretches her.  Emma (Grade 5) is ten and thinks homework is clearly the worst thing ever invented.  It takes her a very long time and she doesn’t understand how figuring out the value of a number will help her be a better fashion model in the future.  Wyatt (Grade 7) is 12 and doesn’t enjoy school but he does well in it and tries to get his homework done as fast as possible so he can go out to the gym and play soccer.
Garth and I have much of the same responsibilities as we did last year.  However, we have decided to be more organized about all the different tasks and try to use our time more wisely.  This should be a year of great growth for all of us.
Love you much-
Rachel
