Happy Grammy!

This is one happy Grammy!  Was able to Skype with the kiddos last night before bed (8:00 AM for them!)  John Thomas looks like he has grown and seemed to like seeing me on the computer.  He just smiled and smiled.  James and Caroline were cherubs and my teaching buddies here fell in love with them.  Just wanted to look at their beautiful faces for as long as they could stand sitting at the computer screen.  Miss them so very much!

We are still in day-long intensive training and will not greet the new batch of teachers/students/participants until Saturday.  Once the students arrive, we have responsibilities from early in the morning to dorm visits lasting until 10:00 PM on some nights!  This schedule is quite an adjustment for me as my head usually hits the pillow by 9:00.   The training is beginning to get serious with the realization that our students will be here in a few days.  They have forfeited 21-days of their vacation to come to this place to improve their English.  The classes are becoming more specific and I get the sense, the expectation is for us to fly/soar as soon as possible.  Soooo many participants in this session!  Lots and lots of scheduling and planning!
