Jump-a-thon

This year the school had their first annual Jump-a-thon! The students were divided into their "house" teams (red, blue, yellow, and green)and had at least 4 jumping from their team at a time. They jumped for an hour and raised about $1000 dollars. The money will go towards helping a home that houses homeless girls in our city.

We all wanted to say "Happy Birthday to You!" Hope today is a special day for you. Enjoy the song. We love you very much!

A New Year's Message from the Kids

After 3 days of falling snow, we were walking in a winter wonderland! By New Year's Day, with the drifted snow, some areas of our yard were well over a foot deep in snow. We all had so much fun playing in it! The tricky part was trying to keep warm in our house with no power during the day and a leaking radiator that keeps our house warm not working.

Snow, Snow, and More Snow!

Merry Christmas From All of Us to You!

Merry Christmas from all of us to you!

A kiss for my doll, Kit!

Christmas Song from our Home to Yours

New Christmas Pajamas from America!

The children were so excited to get their new Christmas pj's from Nana and Popa, along with the package full of Christmas presents! Shopping can be difficult here and the prices are extremely expensive so we are so thankful to our family in the States who will send us things we have ordered along with gifts from them. Millie even got her a sweater.

Christmas is not celebrated here in our country but New Year's Day is celebrated so trees and decorations and Santas can be found. Almost every shopkeeper we asked did not know who's birthday we were celebrating on Christmas Day. The Western commercialism has come this way but not the true meaning of Christmas.
