Micah has to do community work to earn credits for the International Baccalaureate program so he has volunteered to go to an orphanage next weekend. I think he's doing pretty well in school. He really likes his Humanities class... he likes to talk about current events and read Time magazine now. I actually caught him working on a report about Vladimir Putin last week!
Mary started passing out her cards and Friday she spent a few hours at a friends house and then her friend came over to our place for a while. Her friends name is Abiha (kind of sounds like "A Bee Hive" so there was a long misunderstood conversation about that after her friend called) anyway, she is still plugging away at gymnastics. She has almost mastered a handstand which is pretty impressive since she still can't get the cartwheel.
I pulled out this picture (to the left) from yesterday's paper about a group of monks praying at one of the big temples. I like the monks and the Thai's devotion to their religion. You can't walk 100 yards in any direction without passing a shrine.
