Super Sunday

Since I don't have the rights - Super Sunday seems like a perfect name for today anyway!
This is the first time I have had the thought cross my mind, 'I wonder how many more days we are going to be here?'
I think before now, I have always felt like it was still a long time. I didn't go to the calendar and check but for some reason, today - I am concerned about leaving.
The kids are all doing great. Carlie is happy. Quinn came and saw what we are up to. My dad is coming in 6 days.  Things all seem to be going smoothly. The unknowns are small and I am comfortable.
Could have something to do with my love for being outside, not wearing shoes, sunshine, the power and mystery of the sea. 
I have my mind full of all the things we have experienced. It is really thrilling.
Observing the boys here has been a real treat too. Watching them interact in so many different situations - they have no idea how brave they have been. I may never tell them but I am sure that they will use this trait forever.
The patience they have learned for time, difference, uncertainty, values, I have to think all those things are way more valuable than any thing else we learn while we are here.
The ability to make a friend in an instant - no matter the color of their skin or the speak that comes off their tongue.
It makes learning Spanish seem like second fiddle.
I have the laptop out on the patio and the sounds of kids screaming, laughing, splashing, and of course marco-polo are 5' over my right shoulder.
Jackson is in our 'club' today, he's from Canada. We have no idea how long he will be here but they offer him one of our pool toys and they are off like old friends. 
They have made some other friends who come to XamanHa on the weekends - they are thrilled to see that we are still here. They speak no English but the fun is just the same.
Kids are Kids and I love being a kid!
