Ethiopia

This morning I decided to put together a small care package for our World Vision sponsored child Nedira.  We have only been sponsoring her for a few months (our previous boy in India graduated out of the program).  We have had excellent communication with her family - it's been a delight to receive the letters.

Adrianna and Nate both decorated a card with stickers and drawings for Nedira and her family.  I also included a floppy Canada hat and a Christmas card for her family and a few stickers etc.  Anyway, while we were putting the package together, I took the time to gently teach the kids about Ethiopia and Africa.  Then we watched some videos on Ethiopian landscape and Ethiopian food, listened to some Ethiopian music and learned a little bit about street kids in Addis Ababa and the difference between their lives and our lives here.

Love it!

Amazing Fungi Time-lapse

Adrianna loves trees and mushrooms and forests.  She found this (and other) time-lapse videos of mushrooms growing absolutely mesmerizing.  Very cool. 

Great Train Video that my Kids are Loving!
