All the World is a Stage

...and my girls are some of the actresses. Towards the end of July the girls tried out for the Missoula Children's Theatre again and both got parts.  The play was "The Princess Frog".  Kailei was a venus fly trap and Keara was a spider.  They both did a great job and I'm so glad they enjoy doing it.  The group does such a great job.  It is amazing what they can do in 1 weeks time.  Friends and family attended which made it even more special for the girls.  We are so proud of them. 

And she's out...

Chinese Heritage Camp

This year marked our second time attending Chinese Heritage Camp.  Once again we had a fabulous time.  Keara joined in the festivities this year and was one of the few Anglo's there, but she is wanting to return next year so obviously it went well.  Kailei had a fantastic time.  Both girls loved the counselors and honestly I did too.  They are the best.  It is so great for both the girls to be around such great role models.

I love that so many people from my MWCC group also go.  It means a lot to be able to share the experience with them.  We will continue to go for years to come and I think Zeb is going to join us next year if his schedule allows.  It is just too important.

Happy Anniversary!

17 years of marriage. 20 years of love. Our marriage continues...

So Proud

Got to have lunch with one of my former students, Andrea Lauder.  I had her when she was in 7th grade.  Still so proud of her.  She is making another job change to Denver Public Schools this year and will be on the opening staff of a new school.  Hopefully she will be there for a while.  Love this young lady.

Summer Fun

Nothing better than getting together with friends during the summer.

Khiem's Birthday

Celebrated my nephew's 5th birthday on Saturday.  He is growing up to be such a big boy, and is ALL boy.  Loves sports, balls etc..  Lieu once again cooked up a feast of Vietnamese food so needless to say we ate a lot.  Grandpa and Grandma came up so that made it extra special to see them.  Everyone had a good time.  The girls even played baseball and Kailei was a crackup when she would run endlessly to make sure Khiem got out before he reached home base.  Gotta love it.
