Sexy pose and soccer

In her Gamecocks' outfit. Sexy, but not smiling... (who could after their season?)

Now she's workin' it...keep in mind she does this dozens of times a day! It's sort of her resting pose. Neither Randy nor myself modeled this for her- W'Allah (I swear)!!!

Second only to doing the sexy pose is playing soccer. She will follow this ball all around the house and is surprisingly accurate with her kicks.

In news other than Anastasia's recent antics, school exams are approaching. Yes! We're only getting to the end of semester 1 during the first week of February- Ramadan and most of December off makes such things happen. Our school has been taking a non-policital, yet humanitarian stance on the Gaza situation. Many of the students are very fired up about it and are wanting to take action. Our student council's proceeds from next week's free dress and bake sale will go to the Red Crescent to support the cause. Last week, middle school girls went to Desert Camp; next week is the boys' turn. And lastly, but not least, we are now not only an IB school but also a PYP school. This accreditation makes us the first in Abu Dhabi and only the second in the country to be able to offer the Primary Years Program.

Randy will reach the grand old age of 36 next Friday. I've got a great surprise lined up that may make him question how funny he really is... stay tuned :)

My achievements of the week (besides the great b-day gift): learning how to say hello and good-bye in Amhara (teniystallin and chow), using Petit Appetit to serve up new homemade baby food to Anastasia, and writing a Physical Science exam.
