a little of this, and a little of that

So life has been pretty good lately. Have to admit it's been a lot of fun. Between getting to know Jeff and all the activities that keep us busy, workin on my return trip to Haiti, and learning my job at work, it's been a whirlwind of activities!

This week is a unique experience as we're hosting (2) English teachers from Thailand. They are lovely ladies - Gayoon (Gaye-une) and Mrs. K! Gayoon is from Central Thailand and is an administrator at an English immersion school, and Mrs. K is an english teacher at a Thai school. Both are thrilled to be here, both brought me beautiful Thai gifts, and last night, they cooked us an authentic Thai meal of Chicken soup and Beef curry, which they said wasn't very hot... but after a few bites I found that my pallet was on fire! ;) It was awesome though! The entire AFS WNY team is helping a lot by planning activities and outtings for them when they aren't observing in different area schools - so already they've been to the AFS orientation, Niagara Falls, Fowler's Chocolate, a tour of the Buffalo Pier, and Buffalo State College. Tonight they are with another AFS host family cooking for them, and making an authentic Thai meal. Pretty cool because the girls this family is hosting are from Pakistan and Egypt and maybe have never had Thai before?

Right now Zoey is here, and she's getting so big! started pre-school this year and wow, talks up a storm!
