Happy New Year!  Seems like we have had an abundance of days off of school lately!  Some are planned days off, others have been because of the bitter cold weather.  Because of it, we have had an abundance of time to stay inside, grow together as a family, and sometimes even drive each other crazy as a family!  Pratima is doing great.  She is saying more and  more English words, she is eating well, sleeping well and loves to play lots of games.  One of our new family favorites is Parcheesi- we make popcorn and have family game night!  Molly and Pratima have enjoyed playing with the doll house, fixing the hair on their new dolls, crafting and playing Webkinz.  We took Pratima to pick out her very own Webkinz, and she chose a chicken.?!  Too funny!  I think she would spend the entire day on Webkinz if I let her.  Here is Pratima playing in her bedroom.And Pratima and Molly enjoying the doll house....
 Molly's Brownie troop went ice-skating on one of the days off.  It was both Molly and Pratima's first time on the ice.  I'm sure Pratima thought we were all crazy!  She followed me around, gripping the railing the whole way.  Molly was a star on skates.  On the way home I said how much I enjoyed it, but that I need to take a lesson.  Molly said, "I don't think I need to take a lesson, do you?"  She was feeling pretty proud of herself! 
Look at Molly go!
