Day 24

Hope you are ready for a boring post, because there is nothing new to report!

Well, Alex did have her "upper class" (grades 7, 8 & 9) competitions today.  They can kind of be compared to the Field Days I had when I was in Elementary school, except completely different  :).  Everything was very athletic and physical, but it wasn't a track & field event.  Some of the events included tumbling, pyramid building, chin-ups, pommel horse, parallel bars, balance beam and the finale was a crazy, awesome obstacle course.   These kids worked hard and put on a great show.  Of course it was all inside their tiny little gym, but it is amazing what they can do in there.  I got to sit in on the entire competition along with Julie & Keith, the other couple that is here adopting.  I think the director of the school even commented that there were "Americans" in the audience.  Alex was disappointed in the outcome as her class didn't do great, but hopefully she had a good time anyway.

And in other news, I had Laughing Cow cheese and Melba toast-esque crackers for dinner, I sound like I've been smoking for 87 years because of my cold, apparently "Hustler" is one of the channels in my cable TV package (I really wasn't prepared for that realization-I was hoping to find an HGTV-ish show) and oh, yeah...I get my girl in eight itty-bitty days.  :)  I chose to focus on springing Alex from lockup.
