Braces, Birds, Language, and Polls

Braces


Ok, so on Tuesday I got braces! They are blue and, of course, silver! They don't hurt very much, but I can't really eat anything super crunchy until they have been in for a few days. Here is a picture of me with braces!

By the way, this week's poll is about braces!

Birds

Yesterday my brother and sister each got a bird and one cage. SO CUTE! Zach's is a greenish boy named 7up. Maggie's is a light yellow girl named Laney. They are hoping for babies, but mom is not! :)  Here is a pic...

Language

On Monday all five of us began the wonderful language of Hindi! We are learning to read, write, speak, and understand the entire language. It's a blast! We have workbooks in which we practice and learn to write the Hindi script. Here are pics of the cover and a typical page inside.

Easter Photo Shoot and Activities

Hello and Happy Easter to everyone! I wish all of you guys could be here! To start our festivities, on Good Friday my mom came up with the idea to hand out cookies and a little book that explains why we celebrate Easter to everyone in the society. This worked out so well because the people here have given us a sweet treat to celebrate some of their festivals and holidays as well. We made preacher cookies, (oatmeal, PB, chocolate, and butter) since many people here don't eat eggs. Everyone was super excited to get a "present" as they called it. We also dyed about 2 dozen eggs! Thanks to our Grandma for sending dye! On Easter morning we woke up and went downstairs to see what the "Easter Bunny" :) left us. After home church, we went out to lunch for Easter since we didn't have ham! We watched the Jesus Movie and hung out. It was really cool outside so we walked around the society. But before everything else on Easter, we did an Easter 2011 photo shoot! Here are the highlights...

I hope you enjoyed our pics! Feel free to copy them off my blog! More posts later!

Gadgets and Features!

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for a while. I've been sick the past few days :(. I wanted to let you know about some of the gadgets and features on India4Teens. First of all, the picture and video sections are up and running! I only have one video right now, but I am working on more. Another thing that is new is following India4Teens by email. All you have to do is type in your email address into the box on the sidebar. Every time I put a new post on, you'll get an email telling you. Pretty cool! I have also changed the polls. About every two weeks there will be a new poll. I will post the last poll's results in a blog post right after the new poll is up and running. You can also become a follower of my blog if you have a Gmail account or Google ID. Just click the "Follow" tab that in the Followers gadget. Have a great day!
