Weekdays when teams are here mean waking up extra early...for everyone. Each morning, Sean leaves at 7 am to transport the team to Armenia, so I typically find myself awake and in the house around 7 too. Yesterday, we spent the morning picking up smelly, rotten, fly-infested mangos in the mango graveyard (Lindsey and Sean are REALLY ready for mango season to be over!), "playing church" led by pastor Lucy (aka "praying" in gibberish Spanish, opening our "Bibles" and chanting). Some might call this sacrilegious, but Lindsey likes to think she's just being raised a Honduran Pentecostal. And of course a morning wouldn't be complete without "walking" the sleeping babies all over the house.
"Cheese sam-mich" for Lucy's lunch and naps like clockwork (although, now that Ellie is teething, her sleeping patterns are more like a normal baby's instead of her previously narcoleptic self).
Another Monday Kid's Club, but this time it was led by the Sacramento team. This proved a huge blessing for Sean since it allowed him to stay home and rest to get over his stomach bug. Lindsey and I were also blessed by a far less stressful team dinner and bedtime this evening (except for when Lucy decided to give my chest a goodnight kiss instead of my face). Finding ourselves far too exhausted for a game of nerts, Sean, Lindsey, and I wrapped up the childless portion of the evening with Rummy Cube.

Making new friends
Another day without the "McVan" found us walking to the mall to run some errands, eat lunch, and enjoy a few hours of air-conditioned bliss. With naps out of the way, we'll spend the afternoon enjoying the girls' new pool and baking cookies. Later, we'll meet up with the team for tacos and kebabs at a restaurant by the beach. Me parece bien (sounds good to me)!
