Here is what we did during February--started a new school and hopefully a better 2018 for our family's health and wellness!
Take a look at our life through photos!
February 5th started a new chapter in our lives. Emme and Leyton transferred from a public school in Costa Rica to a private. It is a Canadian founded school, so they receive Spanish, English and French!

February was also the month that Leyton learned to read--in English! It has been something that I have struggled with for a long time--but I didn't push and he finally did it on his own doing! Now he is reading so good!

We also welcomed a team from our own DAYCARE! The second grade class and the 3rd and 4th grade classes helped us work on Phase 2--moving rocks and coffee wood!!

I, Angie, had a scary situation. I was driving around on Saturday and there was this man walking crazily in the middle of the street. I passed him several times and he seemed to be very stressed. I stopped at the gas station and told the men working there, as at that time he was standing in the middle of an overpass. I seriously thought he was going to jump. I didn't have my phone on me, so that's why I told the guys. Couldn't stop thinking about it. When I went back to pick up Emme, here he was on the other side with the police talking with him and blocking the road. I'm pretty sure he was thinking of jumping. He eventually got in the police car and left--alive. It was so scary and I didn't know what to do--but something told me that he was stressed and was looking for a way out! Thankfully, that didn't happen.

The puppies got a fancy haircut and a fancy bow.

Emme doesn't have a phone, but she has been using mine to keep in contact with her friends from her other school. I look at the picture--this is what they do!
 |
| Don't ask me---being silly!! |
 |
| Bruce made me a pre-run peanut butter toast--with a hidden message! |

| Saw another rainbow at the end of our street--a double rainbow! |
