NEMO AND STANLEY

This afternoon mama caught Stanley taking swipes at the fish bowl. Thank goodness mama put a covering on it because Nemo is driving Stanley absolutley NUTS!!!

HEARTBREAKER

This afternoon mama went to pick Mimi up from school. There were several other moms there while the teacher shared this story with me.

The teacher said that Mimi was outside and was found holding her head in her hands. When asked what was wrong Mimi replies that she misses her sister in China. Mama then explained to the ladies there that we are in the process of adopting Mimi's mei mei from China.

Mama also shared with them, that our friends Erika and Miguel are adopting again and we are all in the same group. Mama explained how Naomi is praying to God every night to watch over her little sister until she gets there. Our Mimi always tell us how her mei mei is calling to her saying "Mimi, help come get me!"

When it was time to go home, the moms were saying aaaawww, patting their hands over their hearts and tearing up.

WEATHER UPDATE

The weather gage now says 37 degrees and it is only 4:00. Another mom at Mimi's school says that they (DOT) is putting on the chemicals to keep the streets from icing all around Lake Wilderness which is not far from our home (approximately 5 minute drive). Either way, mama has her camera ready in case it does snow tomorrow.

POSSIBLE SNOW

The weather station said that we may have snow tomorrow. I believe him because it is most definitely colder than usual outside. The temperature gage says 41 degrees but I think it is colder than that.

Good thing mama did the grocery shopping today. The store clerk says that we had a pretty good snow season last winter right here in Maple Valley. Papa seems pretty pleased too because that means the ski resorts will open soon. Some already have. This weekend Mimi's ski's will be ready to be picked up. She will be one busy little chili pepper this season with school, gymnastics and skiing.

GYMNASTIC CLASS

Yesterday Mimi went to her second gymnastic class. Once again she had a blast. This class had one boy and four girls including Mimi.

The Thursday class consisted of a little floor exercises and trampoline. This trampoline exercise consisted of running then taking a jump onto the small jumping board then jump onto the trampoline. There is another "runway" trampoline where the students start off at one end and jump toward the other end spinning around in circles when the instructor tells them too. This is right up Mimi's alley especially if running and jumping are involved.

While one is not allowed to take flash photography of the students, you can take video, which mama did.
