What's Up

So what's been going on with us lately. Ron's sisters were able to visit Molly's school on Thursday. Molly was so excited to introduce them to whoever was around after school. They visited her classroom and met her teacher and saw all the projects she is working on. I actually learned a little more about Molly's days at school than when we had conferences. It was kind of funny because there were a couple of pictures on front of the teacher's desk that Molly had drawn for her and one had something written in Amharic. I asked Molly what it said and she wouldn't tell me and her teacher said she won't tell her either...hmmm?

Today was a big day for Hannah at swimming lessons. She got to jump off the diving board. And if you know Hannah she is little Ms. NO FEAR. She went up and jumped with all her might and them swam back to the wall (the instructor wasn't even in the water to help out). Her big sister and the other moms were so impressed at how brave she was as she is the youngest by far in the class and the only one that wasn't scared to jump. So she did it 3 more times. I asked Molly if she would jump and she just screamed like a baby "NO...Hannah so good". Hannah is the star student of her class. She only has one lesson left in this session. I'm so proud of her.

This afternoon we spent some time with Grandpa & Aunt Trish. Hannah danced, Molly and Trish practiced some cheer leading and we all sang Hannah's songs she will be singing in church tomorrow. Of course Aunt Trish (retired teacher but always in teacher mode) had to make a lesson out of the songs (Pledge of Allegiance & God Bless America). It was kind of funny as she was trying to explain to Molly what the words meant because she would use one word to describe another and it was a word that Molly still didn't understand...ie Allegiance means loyalty...What???? Do you see the picture I'm painting for you? I don't know how much Molly got out of the whole patriotic lesson...but that's OK as she's still not a US citizen.

That is about it for now so you all have a great weekend.

Blessings,

Bliss
