Back To School...
It's good to be back. We had a great summer visiting friends and family, doing a little shopping (well maybe more than a little) dining out a bit, etc.
We arrived in Port-de-Paix on Tuesday, August 14. We were blessed with safe and uneventful travel from Kansas City to Dallas, Miami and then onto Port au Prince and Port-de-Paix. Tuesday evening we managed to fire off one email before we lost interent access. Wednesday we discovered we were(are) without phone service. Here we are one week later and our internet access is stable though we still lack phone service for the time being.
What a difference from last year it's been! Last week was a busy week of unpacking, cleaning and reorganizing our house. We had two tables of dry goods plus the things we had taken to Evansville to be shipped waiting at the school, all in good shape but it took about ten trips with the wheelbarrow and two-wheeler. Needless to say we were beat!
This week we have started orientation with school and cleaning, organizing, decorating, etc. in our classrooms. Registration is on Monday and school starts on Wednesday. Scott has picked up teaching World History and American Literature along with the four science classes. He will have lots of extra work for planning and grading but he's excited about getting to teach two more of his favorite subjects.
The girls have been catching up on watching movies, seeing friends and we've made one trip to the ocean to swim. They've been helping Scott make homemade pizza(total of 3), the only problem is we've already gone through nearly a whole Sam's size shredded mozzerella cheese bag!
We will post some pictures in the next day or so. We love you all and miss you all!

So glad to hear the update and that arrived safely. We miss you guys already and so do our customers :) Keep us posted with any updates about Scott's back pain. Enjoy the excitement of the first day of school. We are all getting ready here. Stephanie attended her "freshman roundup" today and starts officially on Wed. We head to St.Louis on Friday to get Kristine moved into college. Take care and know that we are all praying for you.
Love the Fredrick's!!
