I'm currently staying with Brad & Rhonda, and the Mark & Kate et al are sleeping in their camper in the driveway. It's been nice to be close to help Kate with the kids in the mornings. It's been an adventure so far.
The choir kids arrived just over a week ago, and their first concert was 1 week later. 6 kids from Peru and 7 kids from Liberia make up the whole of the Matsiko World Orphans Choir this year. While the Liberian's native language is English, the Peruanos have it a bit harder. A few of them speak some English, but they've been learning pretty quickly.
Alexis loves to see "her kids," although at the end of an over-tired day after the concert on Friday night she kept complaining of "too much dancing." It was pretty cute.
It's Sunday morning and we're in the process of loading up the vans once again. We've got 2 concerts today at Spiritualist (New Age) churches closer to Seattle (we're about 1 hr outside of the city). It'll definitely be an interesting day. It's been a pretty tiring week for everyone, although with no concert yesterday and an early night everyone should be a little more rested.
The big adventure for the day: the choir kids are changing host families and as of this morning there is no place lined up for them to go. If nothing else, they'll stay with Windham's, the family behind this organization. With only 13 kids there should be plenty of space - apparently the entire choir from the first tour slept at Windham's a few times, and that time there were a lot more kids.
