*ahem* Sorry for the silence. But you're probably used to that by now, huh? I'll give a quick sum up of the last month.
1. Us three girls are doing Camp Nanowrimo! Put together, by the end of the month we will have written 4o,ooo words of three extremely different stories. Risa is writing a super cool sci-fi, Mari a really touching historical fiction about a boy who rode one of the Orphan Trains (heard of those?) and I am writing a fantasy, like everyone else =P.
2. School...is not ending. It's very sad.
3. We are working very hard for our chickens (something got into the coop and gobbled up all our layers, but we have ten little things who are close to laying age. We will protect you, chicks!) and we've been building fence segments like crazy. Soon we will have a nice new fenced yard. Yay!
4. Our papa (grandpa) is, in case you were unaware, a part time missionary to China and left today for a four month stay. We will miss him, and prayers are appreciated. He will be teaching English (secretly the Bible as well) at a college, preaching at some registered churches, getting some theology books spread in Chinese and ministering to the underground church. Yes, prayers are greatly appreciated.
This brings me to the joke bit. Our papa has always been the King of Corny jokes. Those silly puns and play on words that make you literally say, "Ha. Ha. Ha." while you roll your eyes. And some of that has rubbed of on Mom and Mari as well. This was their conversation a couple nights ago at dinner:
Mom: Just be careful over there [China] Dad, they have that bird flu going around.
Papa: Well, I hear it's tweetable.
Mari: But you'll definitely be feeling under the feather.
Papa: The worst part is the bill the doctors send you afterwards.
Mari: Well, you know they're all a bunch of quacks.
Mom: It may leave you a shell of a man.
Papa: Alright, enough yolks!
Mom: Then stop egging me on.
It actually continued with a couple more puns that I can't remember after this. We love having him over for dinner ^.^.
How's April been for you all? Sorry for the lack of pictures! Some of those, and the answers to last months game will be posted soon. Really.

Sorry about your chickens! =[ And we'll be praying for your grandfather!!
Congratulations on your stories! I love seeing your names on the 100-4-100 spreadsheet ^__^ Is there a possibility that somebody's story might be posted here on the blog?? just wondering!!!
Have a great weekend!
I agree with everything!
1. That's too funny!
2. Poor chickies...
3. We will pray for your grandfather.
4. And stories? Soon to be posted, yes? Maybe one? Two? Perhaps three?
No, it wasn't rehearsed at all! Papa is a pastor so he always has those cheesy kinds of jokes to throw in his sermons XD.
Maybe we will post some excerpts. None of us are very bold about sharing our writing, but maybe I can convince them to find something to post!
Thanks for your comments! =]
