On Monday nights we have been going for about a 45 minute drive out to a small town Southeast of where we live to a Spanish language bible study. The bible studies are nice, but the time spent in the car talking to the family are really super, too. The breadth of topics that come up while confined in a car at night for an hour and a half is really breath-taking. Christian’s seemingly bottomless pit of science questions are getting harder and harder to answer, partly because he does a lot of his own reading on things that interest him (which is mostly science) and I cannot get away with making stuff up anymore. It is really fun to talk about a lot of that stuff. As for the other topics, sometimes the angst is palpable, but most of the time we are laughing or talking about God. It is all good, but the topics are not always so comfortable. I am really quite thankful for these times and am sure I will always remember them fondly.

Christian, I was wondering if you could help me with a project. Jeremy and Blake are wanting to make a toy boat…they are thinking of it having pontoons to make it float??? Do you have any plans or have you made any boats that you could send us the plans to make? I did see some plans for paddle boats. Have you ever made one? Of course after seeing your hovercraft they want to build that 🙂 Thanks for your help!
Love, JoAnn
That sounds like a great thing to make. Maybe Christian and I will do one, too. It would be great to do it together from different sides of the country!

Any luck with the boat plans Christian? I was hoping we could do something witht he boys this weekend when they come. JoAnn
JoAnn, I will bug him about this, but we are pretty booked with the move, our trip to Mexico, finishing up our homeschool, and getting ready for the holidays! It is a great project, I just hope we can get to it before Jeremy and Blake lose interest!
