Surprise Update!

The day before I leave for Taiwan and the thing I expect the least is to have an email with more new pictures of Holly. But surprise! Someone either tried to cut her hair while she was moving around, or she got ahold of the scissors and did it herself, because her bangs (what's left of them!) are all kinds of crazy! No worries, her hair will start growing out the minute I get her. She will be in pigtails in no time.



Also, I am not thinking Holly was very happy to be having her picture taken at the time. Back to no smiles and the occasional grumpy look. Maybe she's saving her smiles for Monday when I pick her up.

Of course, I should be trying to get a few things done, like finishing the packing and cleaning the rest of the house, but I guess I will do that later this evening.

Today was my last day of work until February 4th and I was more sad to be leaving than I thought I would. I got some chopsticks from one of our exchange students to practice eating, so I won't starve while I'm in Taiwan. Thanks, Raphael! We had a little fun in class while I showed him that I could pick up thumbtacks, erasers, and even a marble. Don't worry about me starving!

I was really amazed at how so many kids came by my room at the end of the day to say goodbye, wish me luck on my trip, and make me promise to come visit. (Thanks, guys. That truly did meant a lot to me.) Like they won't see me?! I live 5 blocks from school, ya know!

Ok, gotta go get something done. Next post will be from Taiwan!
