Meet Yeabisira

For the past 2 years we have been pen pals with our international friend Yeabisira.  He's 7 years old from Ethiopia.   Every month we make a donation to help him buy food and medicine.   We "earn" money by being extra helpful around the house, we "save" some, we "spend" some and we "donate" some to Yeabisira.  We don't need any help learning how to spend, but our parents are trying to teach us the importance to earn, save and donate our money.  If you're interested in sponsoring a child in need of help visit:  http://www.compassion.com/ 

Since I finished the 1st book, I got to watch the movie over the weekend.   I like the book much better than the movie.  They left lots of details and events out of the movie.  Can't wait to read the 2nd book this week.  Any Harry Potter fans out there?

On Wed nite, after tucking us in Dada brought Mama out to Santana Row for her salty (garlic fries at Plutos) and sweet (hazel nut cake at Cocoloa) cravings.  They enjoying sitting outside in 75 degree weather.  Mama loves eating outside whenever the weather permits.  Auntie Jen - thanks for sleep-sitting!

My "work" station.  I have a built in laptop, phone and all.  Keeps me quite busy.

Mama's HS friend Auntie Syl is expecting her 1st daughter in Nov and I got to tag along to this all girls baby shower.

After dinner playtime with Great Grandma at the Mewies.  Auntie Min - thanks for cooking us a yummy fiesta!

1st field trip to the recycling center with Dada to recycle all the beer and sake bottles from his bday party.  We got $6.18 and got to keep the money since we helped sort everything.  

Each month our school  holds a mega skill award ceremony to a few students in each class, this month's mega skill was confidence and I was one of the kinder winners.  Next month is initiative.
