It was beautiful weather here this weekend and I went home and saw my family on Saturday. Here are some pictures from the family visit.
Here is my 20 year old brother Tesfaye. He is going to community college and working.
This is my brother Tadele. He is in high school and on the soccer team.
This is Carmen, our Golden Retriever, who is not dead (see previous posts) and being tortured by my 9 year old sister, Rachel.
Here is Rachel taking a nap on the (still not completely house trained) puppy named Princess. By necessity, dogs learn to be kid-friendly pretty early in the house.
This is me with my 12 year old sister Sarah (yes, yes, this is the one who is beating me at Scrabble). She is a lot of fun to hang out with.
This is Monica, the little 6 year old live-wire sister, and me. She has more energy than a case full of Duracell Batteries on Red Bull. Our family has been desperately trying to find constructive ways to channel Monica's endless energy supply. One of the things we have tried is gymnastics. Although sometimes she can have trouble following directions, she has done very well in gymnastics. Despite having just turned 5 (so she is kindergarten age), she is in level 3 gymnastics with 8 and 9 year old girls.
The requirement for entering level three gymnastics is being able to do a complete back flip on the trampoline, which Monica has mastered quite well.
Other stages of the back flip.
Other gymnastics moves. Hey, I'm impressed because I can't do any of that.
Monica showing off her medal and ribbons from her first ever gymnastics competition.
