Some days are hard. Some are better. This week Ollie brought home his MLK day project and my heart about burst. It makes my think that sometimes we are doing something right.
Stone has been playing the guitar since October. He's getting pretty good. Ken took this candid picture last Saturday as Stone was teaching some of his mad skills with Ollie. So adorable!
Other days aren't so great. Ken has some crazy stuff going on at work that he's had to stay late to get ready for. It doesn't happen often, but the homework and dinner hour flying solo about does me in. Hamburger Helper to the rescue! Let it be known that this is the first time in our marriage we've ever done this. And it was gross. Lol
Stone had an awards assembly this week where he was recognized for his great grades!
What we didn't know is that he was also going to be recognized for his spelling bee achievement. So fun for him to be recognized in front of the whole upper elementary.
We've been going to the acupuncturist weekly to help with my myriad of issues and to help Grover with his night-wetting. This week, the acupuncturist and his wife presented Grover with a "body blanket" of sorts and me with leg-warmers. Apparently we are "cold" and these things will help. They are the sweetest people ever. When we leave Japan, we will truly miss the culture and the goodness of the people here.
