Hello! 

    Boy, has this been a relaxing week, well, compared to the last few weeks. This week we only had school, Bible Institute, and Miss Alice (the lady who comes to help clean the house, was involved in a minor motorcycle accident, resulting in, a sore leg) not being able to help out here; but when you compare that with getting up at five o’clock to prepare breakfast for twenty people, working outside in the hot sun for about ten hours each day, and then coming home in the evenings to prepare supper, (again for twenty people) for two weeks straight; this has really been a relaxing week.
When we first got back from Siaya I was not sure how I would be able to adjust back too normal life, but it seems to go much better than I had anticipated. Though I am still extremely tired at night I am now able to stay up till 9o’clock without falling asleep on the couch first.
My Science Project is on Acids, Bases, and Salts.  If you have any interesting facts that I could use, feel free to tell me about it.  (We are a little low on information right now).

Grandparents (By Abigail)

There are many types of grandparents when it comes to how the react to their grandchildren.

THere are cases when some grandparents are not able to see their grandchildren often. But when they are able to, they spoil them. They give them every kind of sweet one can imagine. They also give them toys that they want and literally everything! Whether or not the parents approve is not even thought of. This behavior may not last long, but it lets the child know that his grandparents love him and miss him when they are apart.

Other grandparents are those that keep the children giggling. Acting like a clown. And playfully arguing about what the child knows. When a child has the knowledge that one plus one equals two, the grandparent will start a playful argument that one plus one really equals eleven! This behavior lasts throughout the child's lifetime - the grandparents consider them as children no matter what age they are, right?

Grandparents mostly are very good at story-telling. For the first part, they are usually experienced at it. And second;y, they have a very wide range of their own personal stories of growing up and such. This gives the grandparent a time to teach the younger generations through illustrations of right and wrong, and good and bad. But they can also teach history, Bible principles, and farts that the children will need to know in their lifetime.

Most grandparents have traits of all three examples given in this composition, but usually there is one trait that best stands out when grandparents are around their grandchildren.
