Holes in My Head

Three weeks ago I got my ears pierced. It was kind of scary when I first went into the pharmacy (it's different than the US, you can get your ears pierced here at a pharmacy or at a hospital) because before when we had tried to have my ears pierced the nurse was going push the earring through with his bare hands. So, before he did it, we decided that we would try to get it done at another place that actually had a piercing gun.

It was kind of painful. There was a guy that kept telling me (in French) that it didn't hurt. But I was feeling the pain and I wanted to tell him it DID hurt. He never had his ears pierced, so he didn't know how much it hurt.

After a while, I figured out that the earrings I chose were actually almost the same color as my birth stone. And I have a necklace from Disney World that is my birth stone, so I can wear them together.
 

After I got my ears pierced I was sad because I thought that I didn't have any other earrings. But then, my mom reminded me that Aunt Cynthia had given me a few pairs this summer. Just a few days ago, I got 2 more pairs of earrings from my friend Ysabelle and then I got a pair from Janet Bales who was one of the teachers at our kids program in Bamenda. So now I'm very happy because I have many options to chose from for when I take my earrings out for the first time, which will be around 2 weeks from today.

Snowballs During the Summer

This picture was taken when I turned into a giant a few weeks ago and touched the top of the Swiss Alps. Just kidding! I was really hiking up a mountain opposite of the Alps and that's how I got the picture.

We were hiking and went up to the first snow spot that we found. We threw a few snowballs and both of my brothers slid down the icy spot. When I was climbing down the snow it was so cold my fingers almost felt numb. I forget the last time I felt snow before, but it was probably over 2 years ago.

It was fun hiking up the mountain because I could see the huge, beautiful Alps across the valley.

Nandry's New Fashions

Now that I'm finished school for the year, I have time to sit around and crochet. So, I decided that I'd make some Barbie clothes. One of the outfits looks more like a Christmas outfit, and the other one is more of a summer outfit. I didn't really have a pattern, I just started to crochet and it came out like it is. The shoes with the summer outfit, after I tried to take them off and put them back on a few times, they fell apart because I had cut too close to the knots and so now she goes barefoot!

Karate

This is during my Dad's karate class that he's teaching Boaz, Asher, Brianna, Brendan and me. He's helping me practice my punches. Karate class is cool because we get to exercise and learn new skills and practice our coordination.

My Bunny

This is my beautiful, lovable bunny. Her name is Flopsy and she eats country brooms and every plant she can find or that I give her. She lives in my veranda with a mama cat named Mixie, her kitten named Tiger and Buttercup the big German Shepherd. Buttercup is a bit scared of the bunny even though she's over 5 times her size. Tiger likes the bunny, espeically for a playmate, but the bunny just ignores him. Tiger also tries to eat her food, but he doesn't usually like it because it's mostly leaves. Mixie just ignores the bunny.

If people come into the veranda and they don't look too scary, the bunny runs right up to them. But if they are a little scary, she runs and hides behind her cage.

Nandry's Castle of Cards

Hey Grandpa, check out this cool castle I made one night after dinner. Thanks for giving me the deck of cards. To make this castle I used up ALL the cards in the whole deck! Sometime I'll try building with layers and make it 2 or 3 stories tall.
