    Ronal and Luis

    By: Robin Inks

    Ronal had surgery a few months ago and has been recovering well! Last week Charlie and I took him to his final check up and the doctor gave the thumbs-ups! To be honest, I think the only reason he has put up with going to so many appointments is what comes after we leave the doctor’s office….


    BURGER KING! He loves him a good burger, fries, and milk shake combo!


    Sweet kid! He’s going to miss his favorite fast food now that he’s not going back to visit Dr. Lagrange.

    Aaaand, our kids are loosing teeth left and right! On Thursday, Luis Fernando pulled out 2 of his own teeth! Brave kid, wouldn’t you say? He walked up to me and said, “Rubi, my tooth is loose. It’s ready to come out.” Excellent. Well, buddy, I don’t pull teeth so you’re going to have to figure this one out on your own. And he did. Twice.


    Here he is with Johan after pulling the first one.


    According to American culture, you put the tooth under your pillow. Johan thought that the tooth should be thrown under the bed. But Luis Fernando thought that the tooth should be thrown on the roof.


    And so it was! After throwing that tooth you have to say a prayer for the next tooth to fall out. Apparently the prayer worked for this little guy and within a few hours a new hole had been made in his mouth. Way to go, Luis!

    Profe Ashely’s class had a fun little Valentine’s Day party on Friday. It’s not as big of a deal here as in the States but everyone knows what it is and you can find pink and red clothes all over the stores. Here are a few pictures:


    Ashley made fun little gift bags that included pink Dinos (kind of like Oreo’s)!


    The kids worked on a making Valentine’s Day cards.


    They all made 2 cards. One for a staff member at the school and one for someone in their family!


    And the most fun surprise is that Cara came to school and read them a Dora book! They love seeing Cara!

    Happy Valentine’s Day from Colegio Makarios!

    Today at Colegio Makarios

    By: Robin Inks

    I have not written about the school recently and so I thought that I would post about what was going on at the school an hour ago. Here are the pictures:


    Ashley’s class was sitting outside on their porch having circle time. They were discussing the day of the week and singing the alphabet!


    Lauren’s class was having circle time in her classroom and were greeting each other, shaking hands and saying hello!


    Kim’s class was having circle time in their chairs and were practicing the alphabet (see the Facebook page for a video of it)!


    Cristina’s class was having reading time in their chairs!

    Just a glimpse of Colegio Makarios today.
