Weekly Updates

1. The Romanian team left Texas after a full week of work, sight-seeing, and lots of eating! A few places they experienced - Salt Lick, Hula Hut, Moonshine, Waterloo Records, Elephant Room, 6th street, Wal-Mart, Fry's Electronics, Barton Creek Mall, San Marcos Outlet Mall, Whole Foods, CVS, the Capitol, Bob Bullock Museum and more! They were all three delightful and gracious and absolutely adored Morgan and Jason. Their word for Jason in Romainian was...Nasturol (mispelled) - which means "rascal" in english. They said Morgan was the most beautiful thing they saw in Austin.
2. Morgan had her first sleepover - Elizabeth Friesen spent the night because the Romanians had to all sleep over at her house and in her room. The girls did great - with a few exceptions at bedtime. Michael wins the prize for finally getting them to go to sleep!
3. Morgan had a violin lesson this week. She learned how to hold the instrument and the bow. We have to practice everyday!
4. We had a birthday party this week at the brand new Chuck-E-Cheese. I swore we'd never go back after we all got the stomach virus after going last summer. Guess it's unavoidable, though, when your kids get invited. This new one felt a little less germy since it's brand new, but i'm sure it was covered all ready! Jason, of course, ran through the whole facility, climbing on rides, walking on the little bowling lanes, and stealing people's basketballs. Needless to say, I was exhausted after the experience!
5. Last, but not least, we got a new washer and dryer this week! I now have an indoor laundry room (in the red room). The machines are pretty cool - front loading with lots of buttons and dials. Jason already knows how to operate both of them. I still need to watch the CD Rom that teaches you how to use them.
