It is HOT down here
In uniform......infront of our house.
Bubba, Skunk in the kitchen.
Mickey is enjoying her 5th grade class.
Driving is crazy here. There are not many rules of the road. This is our 1997 Nissan March. It works pretty well, although sometimes we have to pull over and put water in the engine....it's just what they do!

Hello all,
We hope everything is going well back in MN and everywhere you are. The rainy season has officially ended here in the Dominican, and it is getting HOT. The past week has been around the 90's everyday. Mickey's class is really growing together this week. She is using new techniques for teaching and disciplining her kids. Their math comprehension has improved and to control the out-of-turn talking she has implemented a color code system. When a student isn't listening or talks out of turn, she has them "change their color." It has been great to see her improving her kids behavior and helping them grow as students.
I completed two new brochures for the school. One is a general information brochure and the other is a recruiting brochure for retired teachers. They will be available to view on the Doulosdiscovery.org website next week. My next projects are sponsorship brochures and a short DVD film all about Doulos to be used for fundraising, sponsorship and teacher recruiting. It will be a big challenge as I am working with a videographer that speaks only spanish.
Mickey and I are VERY excited about a couple of visits coming up in the next 2 weeks. Next Thursday my Mom, Grandma Helen and little sister Quinci are coming to visit for 5 days.....very exciting. At the end of the following week, Mickey’s brother Zach and his fiancée Krista are coming here to stay with us for a week.
We hope everyone has a fun, safe weekend......
Loving constant attention, these are the doggies.
