Today

Today we took Mona to the Hong Kong Market and for Dim Sum. She had never had Dim Sum and it was a new experience. We also took her to the Market and bought a few things to remind her of home.

Mona is here

Here is our first glimpse of Mona and her friends that came here to learn. Sarah was so excited she had to give her a present immediately. Sarah also wrote a poster welcoming Mona to our family. It was a great meeting and I hope that we have many more fun times in the year to come.




Here we are getting ready to meet Mona. She missed her flight and didn't come in until 11:30. We met some very nice people that are also having foreign exchange students.

Thursday

Thursday was Sarah's first day of school. She is going to Bendwood for the 7 days that I have to be in meetings and she would have no where to go. I think her backpack was bigger than she.

The room is done

Well, the room is done and waiting for Mona to move in! In just 2 days she will be here.

1st teeth cleaning

Today was Sarah's first appointment to have her teeth cleaned and polished. She took her own mirror and had to check out mom's teeth before she would have hers done. Her teeth look great and we don't have to go back for another 6 months. She then got a toy and new toothbrush and toothpaste. She was very happy when we left!

Last night

Last night I had the kindergarten team over for fun and food. Ashley Ivey, Sylvia Wolf, and Lauren Tobin were here. Ashley had some platform sandals that Sarah just loved. Here is a picture of Sarah walking in them She even was running in them.

Getting ready for Mona

Well we finally know when Mona is coming and it looks like around the 14th of August. Now after 12 years of my living with the ugly wallpaper in the front bedroom, it is all gone. Russ, Sarah and I have been working hard for 2 days taking the paper and glue off. Russ painted the room today and it looks great. I will post those pictures later. For now you can see Sarah and Russ taking the glue off. It was real teamwork.
