Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?

I was in China. Teaching kindergarten aged children English.

I went to breakfast on September 12, and overheard others talking about a plane crash. Ok, I thought, plane crashes are bad. It's a sad thing. And that was it.

I got back to my apartment and turned on the computer to check my email, and chat with my Mom like I did every morning. I had a ton of emails asking if I was ok and safe. I still did not have a clue what was going on. My Mom's email just told me she needed to talk to me.

My Mom got on chat and then told me what had happened.

The group I was with spent the morning listening to a live stream on CNN, we couldn't get the video portion to work so we just listened to the audio.

I still had to teach kindergarten that day. I have no memory of what we did.

I was so numb.

We will Not Forget!

Remember on Patriot Day

Millikins Purple 4 Year Old Hair

Millikins turned four!

She wanted purple hair, that we can do!

Don't worry, it washes out in one shampoo. ;)

We made her day with it though.

Seeing the joy on her this day was so work the $6.

I love being able to provide this kind of joy.

Lulu is 8 months

8 months and crawling around like crazy!

She started forward army crawling on August 24, in the afternoon

On the morning of August 25 she started crawling.

By August 28 she was pulling herself up on things and starting to take steps.

As of today, September 9 she can walk if you hold her hands.

She can pull herself up on almost anything to a standing position.

She is starting to get onto her hands and feet in the middle of the floor.

This morning she took a step while in this tripod position.

WATCH OUT WORLD!
