It's been a pretty quiet month - I would say 85% of families are on home-leave right now. As for the rest of us who have chosen to stay, it's been a relaxing month of "summer school" (arts and crafts and play) for the kids, swimming, and playing outside. We've formed some relationships with some of the other families here, and find ourselves quite comfortable with our life. Things have started to pick up a little this past week, as the Women's Association starts getting ready for the new year, and more planned events and get-togethers are starting to show up in my email inbox - we'll be busy again soon!
Through the swim club, Sofia has been lucky enough to have semi-private or private swim lessons three times a week for the past month (so many people are on home-leave that there's virtually no one at the free swim lesson times offered).... it's been great for her to have so much one-on-one time, and after 4 short weeks, she's like a whole new child in the water - we can hardly believe it!!! Erif, her swim coach, has been amazingly patient and great working with her, and it really shows. These types of opportunities have been one of the greatest upsides to moving here, for sure. I've attached some video of her last swim lesson to show you her progress (to see where she WAS, look at my post from the swim meet in May) :)
