Another short detour:
MAGGIE GOT INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL OF HER CHOICE!!!!!
She'll be at Dominican High School starting in August for 8th grade. Additionally, she'll be taking some honors classes based on her placement testing. Trying out Algebra I, English, and Physical Science as honors classes. I'm so pleased for her! One of her friends' moms made all the girls signs for the front yard (foam-board). Unfortunately, in the cold rain and wind last night her's has gone missing (well, the stake in the ground is still there and 1/3 of the foam board is still around).
In other news, it continues to be COLD here. In the 30s this morning with freezing rain. The girls get out at 12 today (Mardi Gras holiday next week), and we're doing birthday parties today -- each one has a friend coming over, going to a movie, and sleeping over. I'm not a fan of big b-day parties, so this works out well!
In regards to Mali -- I've gone through the 700 or so photos I took and labeled them all with names and locations. Posting them on some web site and will let you know! Lots of repetition, but there are some fun ones -- me carrying water on my head, inside a mosquito tent, dad acting like a goat, all of us carrying rocks and/or planting trees. And the mud architecture is amazing. Especially with the satellite dishes and solar panels peeking out on some of the houses!
