A quick recap

Lots has happened since the last entry.  Most significantly, I put in my resignation to my job in the States. This means I will no longer be required to play the border game on a daily basis.  I'll be working in a private practice with no one to answer to but myself.  How wonderful is that?  No more internal politics, asking for time off, productivity, or sitting through unnecessary meetings!  What a relief!

Nothing really new on Mohamed's end.  Just working and trying to get back into working out.

Cameron continues to thrive with his French, and is still into the Wii and computer.  The other day he was playing a computer game and passed a difficult level, a level that I was having difficulty passing.  When I told Cameron I was proud of him and questioned him how he passed, he simply stated, "I used my brains."  Okay, I thought.  He then proceeded to point to the particular area on his head that housed the "brains" that he used.  He told me at times he uses other parts of his "brains" to solve other problems. 

On another note, Cameron has been talking about starting gymnastics for the past 2 weeks.  Great, I thought.  Maybe this session he won't throw a temper tantrum when we walk into the building.  He woke up this morning all excited, however, once we got there...same story just another day.  But, Emmersyn loved it!  She was sooooooo cute modeling everything the instructors were doing.  She loved all of the other kids in the class and was laughing the whole time.  So, I went right up to the registration desk, withdrew Cameron from the class and registered Emmersyn for gymnastics.  She will be going to gymnastics on Friday mornings.  She is so excited and this might be the start to an Olympian.

Here are a few pics of Emmersyn.  Cameron has not been in the picture taking mood lately.


This is Emmersyn's favorite place to climb.  On the top of the couch.



The only time Emmersyn can sneak a turn on the Wii these days is when Cameron is at school. 


Look at how intense she is when she is about to beat Bowser!


Back again to her favorite position.


The only picture I have of Cameron.  He does love his sister, without a doubt.


And, like Cameron, she has become addicted to the Computer.  I've been trying to teach her how to type, but she would rather play Primate Pileup!




At least she knows how to log off and shut down the computer.
