2. Vacation starts in 18 days and this cannot come a moment too soon. Hawaii, here we come.
3. Mac got his first term report card and he did really well. Super-proud of that boy.
4. Key Stage 2 at Mac's school (grades 3-6) had their sports day last week and Mac scored big. He came home with a trophy that looks like something they'd give to the Heisman Trophy winner. Serious blingage. The events were all track and field, which I think is definitely Mac's strength.
5. Mac got sunburned at sports day and is now peeling. Oh, to be peeling in December. Unfortunately, the florescent lights in my office do not give me a peel-worthy sunburn.
6. We tried to do a Christmas light tour last weekend around Bogota, but apparently the other 8,000,000 people in Bogota had the same idea. It was a bit of a bust.
7. I enjoyed great fellowship with my Bible Study gals at a pre-Christmas lunch on Saturday. These ladies inspire me so much (and they're great cooks).
8. We attended the embassy's Christmas party on Saturday morning. Mac had a great time. He didn't participate in any of the Christmas activities (except being coerced into taking a Santa photo), but instead rolled down the large hill in the yard repeatedly for about 1.5 hours. Here he is with a tickling Santa and his very good buddy John.
9. We went to Mac's Christmas concert at school a couple weeks ago. He takes "Stomp", where they beat on the floor and cans and drums and make rhythmic noise. They did a great job. (Mac is on the far right, closest to the front of the stage.)
10. The most illuminating part of the Christmas concert was when I went to the girls' bathroom and saw all of this on the back of the door.
Mac is in the 4th grade and Jimmy and I were in the 5th grade when he gave me flowers, so we're not that far removed from Mac potentially meeting his bride, aka my daughter-in-law. Y.I.K.E.S.
