Lotsa Stuff to Show You!!!

Hmm, this one doesn't show up so good, but if it did and everything were equal the 13 things we were graded on ... the average would come out to 96% YAYYYYYY!

Photobucket - Video and Image HostingGood morning … this was the face going into the last regular papers and this is the face now a morning after. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Looks almost the same, maybe a slight bit more confident.

The prof had already posted the grades for the regular course room work. Little disappointed to have scored so low in the papers/comments (90-93), but we’re pretty sure a good part of that was posting things late, and in the last group of units, we hadn’t posted to our peers because they were gone by the time we got our work in. So with all that we’re very satisfied and appreciative of the Prof who let us continue to do the work. We’ll try to do a real good job on the final paper, but as V would have it … that we don’t take overly long with it. Today is the 23, which means a little over 2 weeks before the next course starts. I sure would like to have it done by the two weeks maximum so that I can start up clear on the next course. Be better to plan for less time, but we’ll have to see how she goes in putting her together.

This again is our outline, wait a sec, gotta find it. 

Hmmm. These pictures aren't doing so well this morning, BUT continue boldy on! This picture better would have shown all the names of the people we are going to be writing about for the self-regulation paper :)

We’ll have to think about our regular blog stuff a little later … had a run in with Sr. don’t want to think of it now though … so happy to be getting to the paper. Do want to say one thing more … our fishyman was over last night and he is almost up to the BIG trip to Canada he takes every year with a couple of his good buddies. You can imagine how precious the time was to us last night … and you know what? He got to keep us company a little surprise … here let us show you 

Heheheh Do you see what’s different!?? Our friend said he didn’t want us to be lonely when he went away. So he found us a few extra friends! We’re not sure what we’re going to name them though. We might have to ask Deb or V to help us. There’s soooo many … EIGHT of them! They all slept with Dog and Chief and us last night … they were very tired from all the excitement of coming over here. They stayed with our friend for about two whole months, cuz he said he wanted to give them to us when he left for his fishy trip  He sure did surprise us!!! They are such happy happy people. They are always like saying let’s have some FUN around here, k? They are very polite. Sooo, many smiling at us!

Umm, we got one more reason to smile … when we went to our camera we found these pictures. Our son said we could show just a FEW pictures … So we took just two … they are not very good pictures, but do you want to see them anyway????

We’re soooooooo happy to have the pictures. Now, maybe we can remember better. Sooo happy!!! I told our son that we wouldn’t talk about them so much, but we can say a few things I think … like our oldest granddaughter just finished soccer and her team won every time. That’s pretty something something! AND, our youngest granddaughter can at four months now turn on her tummy and she can do it from back to front and front to back. When we were there they were BOTH smiling and smiling. They make us SOOOOO happy! I think Elisabeth looks a little dimply pudgy in the picture, but then you realize that she is being so small in comparison with the size of my son’s hand. We learned that she is still small for her age, because she’s only in the 15th percentile, but she is soooo smart. She whispered in my ear … Gramma I want to be a writer just like you! Well, she said something like that at least. And, the oldest? Not only was she able to show us her dance steps … she was able to point out just where China was! I can’t believe how smart that seems to me … that at 5 years old, she can hold a concept of a whole country as represented by a picture on a globe, and even more than that … that that knowing another countries name would be interesting to her. WOOO HOOO! I see world traveler!!!

*Sigh*

Hmm, think we’re going to want to put up this post sooner than later this morning. V should be getting up pretty soon and we’re going to surprise him with all the pictures. He is getting better I know … BECAUSE he got a lemon pie … and is visiting … and even posted now! WOOO HOOO!!!! YAYYY V!!! He had us worried to pieces!

See you in a bit … we’ll be right over here ----------------X figuring out how to write this next paper *Big Bright Smile!*
