Ballet


Brittany loves to dance! For quite sometime she has gone into our family room, played classical music from a CD and danced, moving gracefully around the room. After our return to Hanoi, Brittany went with some of her friends to their ballet lesson. When she went her friends asked her if she would like to dress for ballet as well. Brittany did - and the teacher allowed her to join the class. She loved it. The rest is history. She is now going to her own class time and working on becoming more flexible.

Upon Return


When we returned to Hanoi, we were welcomed, or should I say alarmed by the knowledge that we had a rat in our house. At least we thought it was one. It turned out to be 3. The last one gave away it's presence by gnawing on the top of the kitchen doorway, which we had closed in an attempt to keep the rat out. I set out these new sticky traps (I had tried 5 other trap types and they all failed). What a relief it was for the rats to be caught.
