LIFE ON THE ISLAND!!

My post tonight has to recap school yesterday and our great evening with friends. The kids had a wonderful Friday and the meeting with the lower school principal went super, they are eager to help meet Drew's needs and willing to help us make the year successful!! Mariah had a super day and was asking about going to school TODAY!!! When I arrived at school to pick Drew and Mariah up Drews class was on the field playing soccer, this was there p.e time and the hottest part of the day. I couldn't help but to watch the game and see the interaction of Drew and his new buddies it was wonderful, I also enjoyed watching the p.e teacher taking it easy under the shade tree, looks like a job for me. Drew received his paper about CNN and Micheal Vick and earned an A YEAH for Drew and his hard work of over 3 hours on this project. Drew also got back another math test with a perfect score so needless to say he was a happy camper.
Drew had a friend from school over to play for the afternoon and Mariah had time to catch up on much needed rest before we went downtown Sousa for a haircut. We also had a wonderful visit with our new friends Judy, Omar, Anthony, and Paco the company was perfect and dinner was outstanding. Mariah fell in love with their 4 week old Rottweiler puppies and was entertained the entire evening. She cried when I would not let her have one or even BORROW one oh well like sucks sometime.
Today was great and my 2 hours Spanish lesson at 830am is how I started the day. I am slow but determined so stay tuned.
This afternoon we went to a WONDERFUL beach in Cabereta call kite beach and I loved it. The kids played, we watched the surfers and had a wonderful seafood dinner on the beach. We also ran into classmates from both Drew and Mariah's class, the only thing missing was Doug.
We had planned to go to our friend Wills house for a movie but Riah crashed on the JOURNEY home. I say journey with all seriousness because it is dangerous with motorcycles, cars, bikes, people and animals with NO LIGHTS.
I am going to close now but will catch you soon.
Sweet dreams,
Missy
PS if you get a chance do a google search of cabereta beach in the dominican republic it is one of the top 5 surfing beaches in the world.... The waves were out of this world!!!
