Exercise video

This is our home-made exercise video filmed in Turkey. We think it is hilarious, and so I wanted to share it with you all.

A fantastic trip

I will never be able to say everything that has happened on our trip to Turkey in one post, so I will sum it up. We have been all around the west stopping in Istanbul, Ankara, Goreme, Antalya Kas, Pamukale, Selcuk, Bodrum, Bergamon, Bursa and back to Istanbul, making a loop of around 3000 km. We swam in the mediterrainien and in the ancient Roman baths, diped our feet in the calcium waters, explored cave dwellings, saw magnificent temples and really tiered ourseklves out. Touring Turkey with Pierre and Sharon was fun, and now I can't wait to go to Hong-Kong in two years! Here are some pictures in order.

A new adventure

We have tickets! we are now officially going to turkey! R.C and I are very exited, because dad has told us we will be flying quite near the north pole! We are taking a 14 hour plane ride to Istanbul, staying there for four days, then taking a train to Ankara, from witch Pierre and Sharon will take us visiting the rest of the country. I just can't wait!

Higher!

I got my pogo stick for Christmas. I have been practicing for around three weeks, interrupted only by eating, sleeping, and a case of appendicitis. The record for this house still stands at 143 jumps and 16 bruises (but I have a suspicion that the bruises might come from throwing myself onto our ice slide at school). Now I must be off to continue my training!

Summary

Gosh! I hadn't even noticed that it's been over a month I last wrote. Anyway, I intend to catch up. School has finally ended (after the principal tried to freeze half the school by making us stay out at ressess during a snow storm, which resulted in a lot of fuss (which would have been avoided if he just let us in) ). We now have around a foot of snow and R.C and I are planning on building a fort soon. We went tobogganing with dad today, lots of fun, and just as we got home, Grand-maman and Grand-papa arrived! Right on time,too, for my piano recital. In this recital, every person at my piano school had to play a Christmas song. I played Joy to the World.
Tomorrow is R.C's violin recital, so I might try to persuade her to write about it.
Phew, what a lot to say!

Strange storm

It all started this morning. It was freezing cold. Not weather you want to be out in without a warm coat. Anyway, the cold led to rain (hard), witch led to ice. Strange. That's all.

A roof of green

At last! The green roof is in! It looks grate, although a little dead, but the green roof expert says that it will do better in the spring. He even added that some of the plants might reach 3 meters high! Now that the renovations are done, we are concentrating on decoration...And cleaning! First up, our bedrooms which we will be cleaning this afternoon! Whew!
