Around the House

Another busy week. Thankfully just 5 more long school days then we're out for Christmas break!  Here's a picture of a picture so not good quality at all but it's G's school picture. I think it turned out pretty cute!!



 Last Sat. night we got to do something really cool that we've never done before. We got to Skype to China! Ji skype's to his wife and daughter back in China on Sat nights. We started around 7:30 at night and it was around 9:30 Sunday morning there. It was the neatest thing! Gracie was pretty tired and had no idea why we were making it a big deal! She did show off baby brother and Rapunzel. Ying-Ying is Ji's daughter and she is just precious! She's 2 and 1/2 and sang the ABC's song in ENGLISH. I nearly fell out of my chair. They are just born smart I guess. We finally got Gracie to open up a bit and she did sorta talk. I bribed her with Mand M's and she did count to 40  but that was like pulling teeth!







I was taking pics and videos so I might post those another time. It was just so neat!  Ji is doing great and his English is so impressive. He even shared some articles he's written (only 17) mostly in English that have been published. He's very, very smart! He really helps around the house and has put several things together for me. Love that!!


 This is from a few weeks ago. Every Black Friday GG and I go out to lunch and shop. Eating lunch is more important though! We're not into going out at 12 midnight like those other crazy people. By Thanksgiving I"m usually done with my shopping anyways. It's still my most favorite day to go out though! We went to Allen to eat so Gracie loved watching the waterfall. I was wishing for my nicer camera because of coarse she was all smiley for me and it's such a pretty background.


We had a teacher at our school pass away yesterday so it's very sad. She's had cancer and been battling only a few short years. She was such a wonderful person that would do anything for you in a heart beat. She was so giving to others.  We knew it was coming but it's still sudden. She was only in her 50's, single mom with kids and just not fair. It's actually a teacher on Kelly's team so everyone is just really sad right now. It doesn't seem real. Say a prayer for her kids and family and our school. Just a very sad time.
