Other than the noise our family can't help but make, it is very quiet here. One of the hardest things about homeschooling was getting use to having them around all the time . Since my husband travels frequently, Ben and B. J. have developed into my friends. It is also fun being married to my husband because he is always doing something interesting and creative. Egypt is very different than America as one would see immediately.
Cars go side by side with donkey carts.
Some buses are segregated by sex. I don't do much cooking here because the monastery feeds our family and Dr. Van Elderen separately. However, I do a lot of reading to the smaller children and playing with them. I must also continue homeschooling Ben and B. J. and cleaning and laundry consume quite a bit of time. I also grew up in a large family.
