We went out to Wylie, Texas for our bible study last night. Afterward, there was a birthday party for one of our friends. It turns out that a whole bunch of the people with whom we meet are either 50 or 51 — just my my age. It is a really neat group of people. The kids spent a lot of the day yesterday working on their etching that I got for them. Christian has finished his paint-by-number of the lions and Kelly is getting close on her paint-by-number. The model of a combustion engine we got for Christian is all put together, too. Christian was able to explain how the valves, rocker arm, crank shaft, and cylinders go through the compression and other cycles to make the engine work. I think it was VERY educational for him and he enjoyed it very much. I might start trying to find more things like that for him.

Today is the day we need to look for an orthodontist, a dentist, and possibly, a piano teacher for Kelly. I think I might start looking for a guitar teacher for Christian. After that, we need to find a place for them to get some exercise and a public library. I might have them go to the library tomorrow to get a library card.
