September 2, 1986
Summer's over - Hallelujah! Kirsten, Paul & Kevin started school today - just half a day. They all like their teachers and think they'll enjoy their year. I'm glad - especially since Sue was worried about Kevin.
Rachel starts kindergarten on Friday. Tomorrow we go to Mrs Cheal for her interview.
We have our foster daughter again - she came back August 4, and I don't know how long it will be this time. We sure love her though, and although I thought I was past the baby stage, I'm enjoying it again.
This summer was a busy one - with company & Expo.
First Einar's Onkel Knut & Tante Tordis from Norway came July 23 for two weeks. We had them here for the first weekend.
Company from out-of-country are a great excuse for a family picnic.
This was at Stanley Park in Vancouver.
Mom & Dad, Tim & Mabel, Jennifer and Kelsey came July 29-August 2.
Roy, Diane, Curt, Carrie, & Carman came on the 13th. Sue & Gerry were gone on their holidays so Roy & Diane stayed at their place and came to our place for lunch & dinner.
We spent time at Expo with all of our company.
(Not from my journal...) Rachel hung onto Curt while they were here... or should I say Curt hung onto Rachel??? They went on the Drop of Doom together, and afterwards I thanked Curt for holding Rachel's hand during that ride. He told me he didn't do it for her... he did it cuz he was so scared himself!!
Rachel - either smiling and giggling or whining - there's no in-between. She lost her two bottom teeth this summer and is getting new ones. She has spent much of the summer sleeping overnight at Tiffany's or at Gordie's. She has a lot of friends and always has at least one boyfriend that she is going to marry for sure. She was heartbroken to find out she couldn't marry her cousin Gordie, but finally settled on a few others in her kindergarten class.
Kirsten, on the other hand, is not interested in boys or marriage. If a boy likes her, she can't stand him. She only likes boys (like Kevin) who treat her like another boy. She's a real tomboy. Her favorite pastimes are bike-riding, climbing trees, drawing (inventing with Paul & Kevin) and reading.
