Jacob at School

Jun 22nd, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off

Difficult to believe this big guy was my little baby only a few years ago … Jacob is into basketball and badminton, writing short stories and poetry, nerf battles and legos. At the risk of bragging too much, he is adapting marvelously to Ethiopia; of all of us, he speaks the most Amharic and is anxious to explore the sights. The third-term report card was wonderful, as are the comments from teachers, school staff and his friends’ parents – he is really a lovely young man! Jacob chows down on ice cream after school

Princess Claire prepares for battle

Princess Claire prepares for battle

Claire loves to dress up in princess dresses, and especially in fancy shoes, but she also has her tough side!  Here she is loading up for battle.

Claire may have a bit of Jedi in her. Claire is shown here again in attack mode.  (We put together a 3 picture slide show, that you can play at full screen if you like, use the “esc” key to exit, and you can use your arrow keys to operate it.)
