carmel apples

This was the last weekend for soccer at least for outdoor.. Indoor starts in a few weeks. Thank goodness because it was very cold and wet..We even had some snow mixed in with the rain from time to time. All weekend the kids bugged me to do Carmel apples from the apples we picked at the orchard. So we finally did Sunday night. Kai was looking for something in the basement and came across the Christmas tree and lights.. So he has been walking around all weekend saying how happy he is for Christmas coming.. I said wait a bit we still have to get through a few other holiday's before Christmas. He has already picked out his gift he wants and reminds me every few days. Funny boy!!..

Fistula Foundation

Two weekends ago The Grand Rapids Chapter of the Fistula Foundation held a Ethiopian Fashion show at the Hilton. A friend of mine was one of the models in it. I took the kids it was great for them to see. .They had food both Ethiopian and Pizza, and many folks both male and female in Ethiopian dress. They divided up Ethiopia and showed the ethnic dress from each area. Then they spoke about the fistula hospital in Addis Ababa. Some of the folks in my group visited this while we were there. At the end of the night they did dancing and music from Ethiopia. It was a great time had by all. Kai and my girls really loved watching it..Keagan well he enjoyed the food the most. That kid can eat!!!! Anyway they are rallying all over to raise money for the situation in Africa.
