I've been kind of blue these past couple of days. I tend to get like that when Larry goes away for
one of his longer trips. My focus initially goes inward and things deteriorate from there. I'm still struggling with homesickness and coupled with the news that our S.C home sold this week, I was sure the "blahs" would take a strong hold.

Their constant bickering had my nerves nearing their breaking point, but today, as I wrestled with my Chinese lesson (another post for another day), I glanced over at my girls. They had two friends over; 
Katerina, a sweet little blond girl from Germany and Francis, a tall, striking eleven year old South American. The music was blaring Hannah Montana and my girls were trying to teach their guests the line dance from Hannah's movie. Katerina was clutching one of the twins' baby dolls, staring wide eyed with those huge blue Arian eyes, wondering what crazy planet she'd stumbled into. But then, she burst into the cutest giggle as Katie spun her around in a circle.

room as these children played with, listened to, and learned from each other. Unfortunately, I was too slow to snap a picture of the dancing. My Chinese lesson was temporarily forgotten as the lesson learned from watching those kids had a much greater and needed impact.
