Max & Liv

Some pictures to show what the kids have been up to...They spend a lot of time on their pedal-less bikes. This is the park right by our house. They have gotten really good at balancing and Max can even ride a regular bike without training wheels now!

Liv's first day of school at the Children's Place.

On Max's last day of school at the Children's place his class all performed Bolivian dances they had been practicing. Max and his partner performed the Morenada, which is said to be a dance about African slaves that were brought to Bolivia to work in the mines of Potosi.

 
We were really proud of Max for being brave enough to perform in front of everyone! He has never loved the spotlight. He had really worked hard on learning the dance though and I loved his "serious look".




Liv on the other hand loves the spotlight! She loves to put on song and dance performance in our living room on her stage (the coffee table). It is all original work and she can only perform while wearing a skirt or dress.



Here is our puppy, Uma. She is a Golden Retreiver. Tim and I surprised the kids with her back in the Fall. This was her first night at our house. She is much bigger now!
Max was recognized at the American School for being respectful to his teachers and classmates.

  3. Dear sweet Max ... course he would get a Respectful Certificate. Aren't those strider bikes the best. I wish we had those when our children were growing up. Olivia is such a fairy princess. I love her "stage." Isn't it wonderful to have children so different! Aunt Paula
