The Parkhursts have been enjoying a change in season here in Seoul. Although the cold is not a welcome house guest, the leaves' changing colors make the city look warm and bright, even when it's not actually so warm or bright. Recently, we were discussing this question: "Will there be seasons in heaven?" What do you think? In other news, we enjoyed our first snow the other day! It wasn't the coldest day we've had, but at the end of the school day, in the middle of 4th grade's Social Studies lesson, big white flakes started filling the courtyard. Needless to say, the students' focus quickly shifted away from "society" and "identity" to SNOW!!! We went outside to enjoy the falling flakes for a few minutes before the end of the day. It quickly became apparent that, from Kindergarteners to Seniors to teachers, everybody loves a little falling snow. None of it really stuck, but it was a fun midweek treat.
We hope you're all staying warm, wherever you are these days. We're a little jealous of the Floridians we know. It looks like you may have a cold front coming through...We imagine the drop to 70 degrees may be a shock to the system. That being said, we're also looking forward to a warm Christmas in the Sunshine State, though Bennett keeps protesting that "it should be COLD on Christmas!" This Christmas will be about palm trees and making a sandman at the beach instead of his usual chilly northern holiday.
With love,
Bennett & Joy
