ASIA

Happy Valentines Day to all!

Updating on Asia. My goodness, where to start! Asia is so beautifully complex that only those of us who know her will understand what I mean by that.

She is in middle school this year and is becoming so strikingly beautiful that it sometimes takes my breath away. She is also very independent and headstrong. I think as she gets further into the teen years (she is just entering them), she will be the one who causes Aaron and I to go gray. (ha ha, I'm already gray but thank goodness for hair color!!!) She is doing very well with her school and loves to be involved in a sport. She really dreads the "down time" between her various sports.

She still has a great interest in animals and science but she is starting to wonder if maybe working with youth is her calling in life. She loves to come to my (mom's) classroom and volunteer and seems to have a natural ability with children.

She is the one at school who will stand up to injustice and she takes the fallout that comes along with taking a stand. (and does not let it bother her)

She knows what she likes, feels, and wants and even if that may change from moment to moment, she moves full-steam ahead with determination. She and her sister clash often because they are both so dynamic and strong in different ways. (and know how to get at each other)

I suppose that is about it. Asia is pretty easygoing and she is the apple of her grandfathers eye. We think she is pretty cool too!!!
