Thanksgiving Day

 

 

We are having a nice quiet day just hanging out!

Bye Mom

 

Van started a Mother's Day Out program today at a local church. He was hollering in excitement on the way to his classroom, he walked right in and said, "Bye Mom." Race seemed a little sad about dropping Van off. We think this program will hopefully help Van to improve his speaking skills.

A Day of Mishaps

 

Yesterday was full of mishaps for Van. Van and I were coming home from Goodwill and I was getting the diaper bag,etc out of the car and didn't realize he had two of his fingers in the crack between the front and back door. I locked and shut the door then realized his fingers were stuck in the door. I had to unlock the door and then open it to get his fingers out, he cried for a while but I think just the tips of his fingers got it, because there are no marks and he is using them freely. Yesterday evening I was putting clothes in the dryer, Keith and Race were outside, and I heard a yell, I came to the living room to find candle wax all over Van's toes and on the rug. I peeled the wax off of his toes and put him to bed before something else happened. He loves to smell candles, and I had just blown this one out. He's real fussy today and has a runny nose. We are meeting with a local church to see about letting him join a Mother's Day Out program once a week to help strengthen his speech.

Looking Back

 

 

 

These pictures were taken a year ago today. We arrived in Hanoi on the night of 11/5/07 and these photos were taken the next day as we were exploring this new city. Hanoi was cooler and a bit quieter, but the people did not seem as friendly, but on the other hand the cyclo drivers weren't as pushy, but there were plenty of other sales people (book peddlers, gum peddlers, etc.) who made up for them.

We are going bowling today with a homeschool group from church today, so we're having a little bit easier school day today.

Sushi anyone?

 

For supper tonight we had the choice of Sushi and Seafood Stew or Pizza. Race and I opted for the pizza, but Van and Keith's favorite was the sushi. I haven't found much that Van or Keith will not eat.
