A visitor in our home!

We have a been given a special opportunity to help another homeschooling family, in the States, out with a project! If you've ever heard of the Flat Stanley books, it's something a bit like that. They have sent us a visitor, Bill the Duck, who is going to go site seeing with us for a little while and then we will send him off to a new destination to visit with another family. In the end, he will have travelled around the world and make it back home with a journal full of adventures!

Enjoy the Picture story I have included about Bill's adventures so far:

Bill the Duck arrived safely, though he looked a bit weary after his long plane travel. He was held up with many lay-overs and delays because of the Icelandic volcano spewing ash and not allowing any plane travel over here in Europe.


We helped Bill out of his traveling quarters and checked his passport and tickets to make sure all was in order.



Elizabeth gave them a thorough inspection.
Yep! That's Bill alright!


And promptly gave Bill a warm welcome!


We let Bill stretch his legs and rest a bit.
Eventually he settled down with the boys and helped tutor them on their school work.


We are really happy to have Bill visiting us and have a bunch of plans to show him around our area! But first we'll let him rest a bit until the weekend to let the jet lag wear off.
Stay tuned!!

If you would like to see more about this project, check out his home family's blog. They have another friend, Waddles the duck off on an adventure as well!
