School Stuff

Here are some of the school things we worked on.  I'll get caught up eventually. :)

In history we had a fun Moorish dinner.  We made some adjustments so the kids would actually eat, but it was fun.  We sat on pillows and listened to Muslim music.  We found a really fun song we liked called, "Animals Love Koran."  Look it up on YouTube.  Way fun. :)

This is a Thor's Hammer pendent.  We did it out of Shrinky-Dinks.  Little One loved it until she saw how much it shrank and then she melted into tears, poor girl.

As you can see, it actually shrinks quite a bit.

Here is a Viking longboat.  She put some of her Polly Pocket girls in there to try and float it.

Pre-floating

This is her refractor she made for science.

Kristina Coming Home!

I know it's been WAY too long since I posted and I'm not sure when that will get better.  This is long overdue though so I need to hurry up and get it done before I put my tired eyes to bed.

This was a homecoming we'd all been waiting for since Masha took Kristina back to the orphanage right before we went to Kiev.  We'd had her with us in Dnepro from a couple days after court was over to heading back to Kiev.  A couple weeks, total.  She was such a sweetheart and I loved having her with us.  Sending her back was so very hard since I had no idea if I'd ever see her again.  Miracle after miracle occurred and her hosting family was finally able to go back and get her and her brother.  They arrived on December 4th.  Even though she'd not been feeling well she still gave me a big, long hug. I've missed that girl!  Welcome home!

Coming in from a LONG time traveling.

Best friends, together at last.

I had to get in one too. :)

Everyone at the airport.
