Annaka is quite an active girl!


Every day when I go home I get the privilege of watching Annaka for the couple hours until the rest of the family gets home.  With the weather so nice I have been taking her outside and we do little activities.  She has the summersault down and I am very impressed with her running abilities.  She has learned how to hop with both feet and tests it out on the way down the stairs.  Being outside I usually try to do some exercises and she has learned how to do pushups and sit-ups.  I wouldn’t say she is good at them.  I am sure they would appall a real Marine but I let her get away with it... for now.  

 

I have a couple pictures from our time outside in the yard.  Click Here for the Gallery and Enjoy!

Schreiben in German

Today I have learned that technical support with a language barrier is best performed with someone that speaks both languages.

I have successfully helped Patricia (our new foreign exchange student) setup a blog. My first mistake was dropping myself as an administrator. For every modification of her blog was now through her localized version of windows.... in German. We were successful but there were a few translations that were a challenge.

I have added a link to her blog below. She has some pictures of her stop over in Washington DC prior to her arrival in Spokane (a few hours late from being bumped from a flight).

Her blog is located at www.Trici-USA.blogspot.com
