A beautiful morning in Montana

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

Browning. It was a brisk 17 degrees this morning, but clear. I am not sure the kids had their eyes open, but the ride to school was beautiful. The colors of the sunrise were reflecting off the snow on the mountains, turning them shades of gold and rose. It was a great way to start the day.

Yesterday went really well for everyone. Our kids felt more comfortable and the kids here really responded well and opened up a bit. I think all of the classes are making books of some sorts, so there was a lot to do. But it was a long day. We left the house at 7:15 in the morning and didn't get back until after 5:00 pm. That is a long time to go without a break since they even eat lunch with the kids.

Ann and I encouraged everyone to go for a walk when we got home. There wasn't much light left so they didn't stay out long, but it was long enough for us to get dinner organized. The bunkhouse is very nice, but with a very large table that makes movement somewhat compromised if everyone is there.

I made chili for dinner and Ann made corn bread. However, we stopped at the IGA on the way home, so the kids filled up on chips and cookies. Jeremy was in charge of prayer last night and he did a good job. We also prepped for tonight's dinner: hammy potatoes...comfort food at its best!

Today is a short day, so we will be home in time for the kids to walk in daylight and if the clouds stay away, I hope they can get some good photographs of the area. They can also get to bed earlier...since the girls were real sleepy-heads this morning.

I did manage to upload some photos yesterday although the connection was slow. I will try to caption them today.
