The whole family, including Minnie and Marley, are now here and we are busy making our house into a home. We've been here about three weeks, but just got our home Internet connection. Time to catch up on posts and pictures for all ya'll in Yankeelandia. We'll be updating with info about our school (check out the web link!), our home, Antigua, mountain biking, volcano climbing, shotguns, and the rainy season. We have to catch up, but will surely have much more to share. We are missing the States, but looking forward to spring tomorrow, the next day, and the next. - Michael
Yesterday, I was a few hours outside of the city when I saw a Guatemalan caballero (cowboy) wearing a "Willard School, Evanston, Illinois" sweatshirt. Whether it is a local wearing a hand-me-down sweatshirt, seeing Fradin books each time we pass by the CAG library, or watching our computer's screen saver scroll through pictures of friends and family, we are often thinking of you. We are, however, enjoying our new home. We'll send pictures soon of our house, the little park across the street, and Shalom's new friends from the neighborhood. At school, the kids are adorable and well-behaved while the school's staff of practically 100 gardeners and maintenance people keep the place looking spic and span. Plus, the pool is heavenly. Slowly, we are getting to know our way around Guatemala City and seeing some sights outside of the capital. We look forward to sharing it with you! -Diana

So, so beautiful! That picture of Shalom in front of the statue is just breathtaking.
Can't wait to see more. What an adventure and what a life. I think about you guys a lot and wonder what you're up to. Now we've gotta figure out how and when Mike and I can come play in your pool. :)
Gosh do we ever miss you all.
Love,

It's great to see that you all arrived safe and sound. Love the pics. Shalom looks like she has a hat made of beautiful flowers. We're looking forward to reading of your adventures. Best, Chris and Uncle George.
