We Won the Lottery

We have a foreign exchange student from Tokoyo and I feel like we won the lottery.  She is sweet and so much fun to have around.  K just adores her.  Here is a picture when we went out for sushi last weekend.  We went to our favorite sushi place, Umi, which I now know means sea in Japanese.  I'm probably the only person who didn't know that!  But do you know what Wagamama means?

Better With Age

I cannot believe K is 14. How did this happen? She just keeps getting better with age. Not a typical teen-thinks Facebook is a waste of time. Just finished reading War and Peace. I've lost track of how many books she has already read this year. She has become an amazing piano player this year. She continues to love art and drawing. She also has a love of languages and teaches herself different languages and is excelling in Latin at school. Happy Birthday K!
