School Days

We finally got the children's school books that we ordered from Rod and Staff. It only took them a month to arrive to us in Obera. We had anticipated that it might take up to three months. The books were shipped by way of DHL, so we could track their progress. They actually arrived in Argentina from the United States two days after we placed an order for them. Once in Buenos Aires they were handed over to a third party to deliver to Obera. They seemed to bounce around the country and were even in Obera once, but we missed them before they bounced around some more and returned.

The children started their school year here at the farm last week on the third. It is going really well. The children begin at six o'clock am and finish for the day by noon. The schedule is great for us because then we have the entire afternoon to work on other things. This year, Abby is in the sixth grade, Sarah the fifth, Elijah the third, Elisabeth the first, and David is learning letters, numbers, colors, etc.
