Peer into the Past 2013

Monique with her project 

And Danielle with hers

 Diana and Bryce really wanted to do a project each this year, and since Mum thought she'd be too busy (she helped Monique and Danielle with theirs, and all projects were somewhat last-minute), I ended up doing their projects with them. I think most people know I love America, and I always wanted to study Beethoven, so their topics worked out quite well. :)

Diana

Bryce being judged . . . I think he's talking about Beethoven's deafness/hearing aids lol

Yesterday

To the Americans on here...
Happy thanksgiving for yesterday!

Some things I am thankful for:

• family
• friends (love you :))
• computers/internet
• pets
• music

Fourth of July!

Happy Independence Day to any Americans reading this!!! =D

Meet and Greet

From 2-4pm on March 24th, all of us but Mum, Maria, and Laura, went to the de Boers' place to meet our minister's family, who had arrived from America the day before.
I was kinda sleepy, but it was nice to meet them!

The little ones were very taken with Snowy, Dieuwe's maltese puppy. (Sorry I just realised I don't have any pics of Snowy!)

And...Amelia Smith (5yrs) was very excited to lose her first tooth that afternoon! See if you can spot the gap in the pic:

Ok so I suppose I should introduce them a bit...

Mr. Smith is Texan, the eldest of 7 children, and was homeschooled.
Mrs. Smith is Canadian, one of 4 children (sorry can't remember where she is in the lineup!), and was also homeschooled.
The met through the church (The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland), and now have 4 children: Amelia (or Amy) 5yrs, Aaron (4rs), Owen (2yrs), and Keith (4 months).
