I am not sure with my children. Boys are different than girls in that respect. I think for parenting, this is the hardest age. You kind of see a new person emerge and you need to get to know that person all over again. Many typical puberty behavior I still see in my college students. I wonder how long that time lasts and if I was the same. I think you yourself don't see you the way other people see you. <br /><br />San, so nice Pip gets a break soon. Here the schools are almost over for the summer, just a few more weeks. Your bedtimes sound like mine. I hope Sara's visit and Dave's absence will not be too exhausting. <br /><br />Most girls going to school also have to become "little women" much too early. I know a girl who talked about her boyfriends when she was 5!! Now she is 11 or 12, I believe, and she is dating a boy. Isn't that crazy?<br /><br />Take it easy! And have a good weekend.

Jonathan also always complains there is not enough food, Charlotte is kind of in the middle, Miriam only likes sweet things, but does not eat very much in general, Veronika eats a ton, and Flora eats like a bird, a crumb here, a crumb there, and half an hour later she is hungry again. <br /><br />Around here even many stores are closed and the college library and bookstore also stay closed, more like in Europe. So nice you are able to have some family time on Sundays. We normally don't do any special activities on Sundays, except going for a walk.

We have Sara home next week and have an appointment with the florist re wedding bouquets and Dave has another trip to Edinburgh so I am working extra this week to compensate for a disrupted schedule next week!<br /><br />I am hoping that at some point things will slow down as I know I cannot keep up this relentless pace of flat out working.<br /><br />I am glad that Charlotte is still very much a little girl, over here the girls grow up far too quickly, in fact kids these days are lucky if they manage to have any childhood.<br /><br />Hoping to write a blog update soon.<br /><br />San xxxxSandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-20639644500749975712014-05-21T07:47:31.813-04:002014-05-21T07:47:31.813-04:00It's very true with Chanda also . . looking so...It's very true with Chanda also . . looking so grown up but still being a little girl . . I think she looks more mature than either Korrina or Morgana at her age, but is still little at heart. Fourteen is still quite young. Well . . for some . . Korrina turned into a very typical teenager at fourteen. It really took me by surprise. I've been thankful that things have been more gentle for my younger two :)dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-46172927966296795752014-05-21T07:41:06.915-04:002014-05-21T07:41:06.915-04:00It's funny that you should mention lunch! She ...It's funny that you should mention lunch! She took food with her but ate it all before the lunch break. Then she called me at the lunch break and begged me to bring more food. However, Greg and I were busy with catsitting and apartment repair, so we didn't go. I told her she wouldn't starve and I would have a good dinner ready when she returned!<br /><br />I think it's good that people spend a quiet Sunday with family by you. It can get a bit too hectic here in the city. We don't go to church every Sunday, but we do sit down for a morning meal, prayer and poem together. I also do have a Sunday dinner, but not everyone is always there for it!<br /><br />Good luck with the recital preparations!dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-2087989406491963012014-05-21T00:07:07.073-04:002014-05-21T00:07:07.073-04:00I was wondering if you had gotten sick again :). ...I was wondering if you had gotten sick again :). Good you are selling locally. That makes things easy. Charlotte does look much more grown up, that is true, but deep inside she is much more a little girl than anything else :).

Gerade sitzt sie auf einem Baum in Jeans und guckt sich den Mond an (das macht sie manchmal abends). Wie zwei ganz verschiedene Persönlichkeiten. <br /><br />Lustig, Deine Frisurengeschichte! Französische Zöpfe können so schön aussehen. Meine kleine Schwester ist darin Meisterin, im Flechten dieser Frisur meine ich.<br /><br />Ja, heute Nacht gibt es Frost, aber nächste Woche soll es etwas wärmer werden. <br /><br />Danke für die Wünsche zu unseren Proben, die großen stehen übernächste Woche an, fast jeden Tag.

Flora hat auch ein lilafarbenes Kostüm und Veronika ein rosa-weißes, aber in all dem Trubel habe ich nur Charlotte wirklich fotografiert. <br /><br />Am Montag soll jemand anrufen, ob sie die Teile für eine neue Heizung endlich da haben. Irgendwie ist es schwierig, diese zu ersetzen, weil sich inzwischen die Richtlinien für Heizungen geändert haben und man noch mehr Belüftungen einbauen muß. Dafür braucht man aber Sonderteile, die erst bestellt werden müssen. Wie habt Ihr denn den Winter überlebt, mit dem Holzofen? Meine Oma hat immer von der Kälte im Krieg gesprochen. Wir sind ja eigentlich ganz verwöhnt und können das kaum nachvollziehen. <br /><br />Ja, heute Nacht soll es sogar frieren. Wir haben eine Nachtfrostwarnung.

Als Kind hatte ich mehrere Jahre langes Haar, um es zu bändigen flocht mir meine Mutter jeden Tag einen französischen Zopf, das hat aber immer so gezogen beim Kämmen, dass mir fast die Tränen kamen, und ich mochte das nicht so gern. Aber es hat sehr schön ausgesehen, und diese Art Zopf hielt wirklich gut.<br />Oh je, und diese Temperaturschwankungen sind wirklich grässlich! Bei uns hat der eisige Wind der letzten Tage aufgehört, heute war es wechselnd bewölkt aber angenehm warm. Eigentlich so, wie es um diese Zeit "sein sollte".<br />Wünsche euch noch gute Balletvorbereitungen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-76049982736604601812014-05-17T13:43:30.265-04:002014-05-17T13:43:30.265-04:00Schöne Kostüme!

I like Charlotte's hair on the side and her costume is very nice. She looks very pretty :) I'm sorry your furnace is still not working with such crazy weather. Wear warm sweaters tomorrow, and socks! I hope you can stay home and have good hot soup? It's raining here tonight also. Greg just got back from walking the dog and I'm ready to crawl into bed and listen to the rain falling outside. My friend Janet is camping with her family in New Jersey and she texted me a little while ago to say they were soaked. I hope they get some sunshine tomorrow. Good luck with the performances! Are they this weekend? Chanda has a rehearsal from 11:30 to 4 pm on Sunday for her ballet show. They have so many children to fit into the schedule that they have three different casts. Chanda's class is in all three shows so they have a long day. Your ballet school looks a little smaller and quieter. That's nice! Enjoy the show time, and I hope all of you stay well :)<br /><br />Idorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.com
