Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since we posted...we've been busy. Especially since Lisha is packing and shopping for leaving early tomorrow morning. Did you know she bought 45 EURO in CHOCOLATE?!?! Can you believe that? It takes up half of her suitcase! Just kidding. But she really did buy 45 Euros of chocolate. Kaelei and I (Kali) teased her all the way home lol. So, like, Lee, it's like, me again! Like, Kali!
Monday: We went to school with Anna for the first day. (Well, for Lisha and Kaelei, but I went on Friday too.) First we had Gym Class, they call it Sports. Then Lisha went with a girl on the swim team here named Maren, while me and Kaelei stayed with Anna. Lisha doesn't remember what she did...all she remembers is that she was very confused because she couldn't understand what they were saying and people were afraid to talk to her. She says English Class was good bcuz she could talk in that class. Not knowing what's going on can make class a bit boring. And ya know what? Anna doesn't even have guys in her class. And they have the same kids in EVERY class. Except Latin. That's my (and possibly Kaelei's) favorite class. Okay, so there is one guy in the class, but it's just not the same without boys. (Sorry guys, we still love going to school with you fun German Kids lol.) Kaelei and I don't really remember much either...we got a little bored too. We played cards in the back of the classrooms and entertained ourselves with our iPods. School can be very interesting though. English Class is fun because they ask questions and talk to us. School here is very different. We still don't quite understand what's going on a lot of the time, but it's fun anyways.
Tuesday: Today was pretty much the same as yesterday, we went to class with Anna, Lisha went with Maren again. She said the kids were less shy today and talked a little more. Maren and her talk a lot though. Kaelei and I use iPods, a deck of cards, LOTS OF FOOD and our cameras to entertain ourselves. It's pretty funny. We feel bad cuz it seems like all we do is eat. We don't get to swim much. (Sorry, Shawn) We had swim practice today, I didn't stay for swim practice today cuz I...ahem...got in a little...uh...bike crash...*clears throat loudly* and had to go home to clean up. Then I went to bed. It felt great! Well, going to bed did, not crashing. That was actually a bit painful. lol. It was a...new...experience. Kaelei and Lisha had fun at practice though. They sort of played water polo at the end. Their version of water polo was standing on the bottom, grabbing the ball with two hands, having six people gang up on you, and then chucking it across the pool as hard as they could. lol. But Kaelei and Lisha tried to play it right. Cuz Shawn taught us better than that lol. (be easy on us when we get home from Germany and have swim practice, it's just not the same here!) After practice they went to Anna's house. It took them a while to get there bcuz they got lost. They talked with Katharine (kat-uh-REE-nuh) and Lisha said goodbye to everyone in their family. Then they came home and Lisha diligently fulfilled her duty to Quinn by helping with math homework and Kaelei worked on her Fitness For Life homework. All this happened while Kali was having pleasant dreams of sexy guys. lol! Then they came down and accidentally woke me up right at the best part of my dream! But I forgive them. Morning came much too soon for our taste. We are exhausted.
Today, Wednesday: School. Again. Joy. lol we had fun today. We only had 4 classes and it was really hot so we met Anna and some friends at the pool. We had a ton of fun tanning and splashing each other in the water. We went with Anna, Sina, Judith, Vincent, Tim, and Sarah, but then two other girls showed up. I still don't really know what their names are. Sorry if I misspelled any names...or got them wrong. Kaelei and I were VERY hyper, and had way too much fun in the water. We jumped off the high dive and screamed our heads off. Well, at least Kaelei did, Kali was terrified so she closed her eyes, plugged her nose like a wimp, and kept her mouth firmly shut and dreaded the end of the fall when she would hit the water. Kaelei loves jumping off of high things and risking her life just for the thrill, but Kali has decided she likes life too much to lose it just to jump off high stuff into freezing cold water. She only jumped off (like ;-D) three times while Kaelei lost track of how many times she jumped. We had a ton of fun at the pool. We forgot sunscreen but Kaelei and Lisha tanned while Kali burned to a crisp. Now she has a permanent blush clouding her face from sunburns and has sensitive shoulders lol. And the mosquitoes apparently LOVE Kaelei cuz she's covered with mosquito bites and Lisha and I haven't really had any. For dinner tonight we had HUGE ice cream creations. They were so yummy! We went into Hannover cuz it's Lisha's last night and we pigged out on delicious ice cream. Oh, and for lunch, we had chicken fettuccine alfredo. It was delicious! Not quite as good as yours, Lee, but it was good!
Anyways, we had an exciting day, and Lisha has to wake up VERY early, so, good night! We miss you guys! Love ya!
Love, (like) Kali, Kaelei, and (for the last time) Lisha

Well, as you may have heard by now, Lisha is officially old. Yes she can be called Aunt Lisha now. Alaina showed up yesterday (Tuesday) at about 7:45 AM weighing in just under 7 pounds and when we had her stand next to the chart on the wall, she was 19 1/2 inches tall. Grandma Lisa is coming back to earth sometime soon, I am sure most of you understand. Ken and I had a short visit, I held her for a good 5 minutes and I think Ken clocked a good 1 min 65 sec with the little fuzz ball in his arms. She slept the whole time we were there, which kept us from seeing the blue eyes we were told of. Lisa was all excited that she pooped while she was there, so I guess the plumbing is in order as well. LeAnn seems very pleased to be able to recognize her feet again and Cory is strutting around in true fatherly fashion. So, when Lisha returns, she will have another person to talk to for hours on end and in a few years Alaina will probably even understand some of it. Now that you all have a clear vision of the recent events of our family, you can have pity on LeAnn for the little amount of sleep she will have over the coming months. We look forward to seeing our Blondie from Germany and hope the rest of the Swimchicks continue to keep the updates and PICTURES coming.

I put my last post on the incorrect day...oh well have fun...
Kali-
sorry you got fried at the pool... Tori and I are also looking quite crispy after a day at the Lake (pineview) with Jamie & fam & friends. Our "family" today included Me, Kyle, Kira, Grampy, & Pauline. We had lots of fun swimming to the bouys and having Kyle try to teach all of us how to do the famous "eggbeater" kick. Poor Tori is soooo red, I'm actually going to keep her with me during my shoot instead of sending her with Kyle & Kira to the swim meet. That way I can make sure she stays out of the sun tomorrow. In my defence, I personally slathered the 50 spf sunscreen on her but it looks like she didn't even have ANY on. SO confusing though because I did Kira at the same time and she doesn't have a single red mark on her anywhere, go figure. Well I just wanted to send my love to that Darling girl of mine.
I can't believe Lee called my precious granddaughter a little fuzz ball. Dude....give her a day or two to find the right hair product. And...when giving statistics, you gotta get it right. Alaina Kay Pehrson was born July 1st at 7:36, 6 lbs. 14 oz. Lisha's plane comes in at 1:30 this afternoon. Do you suppose she will be up to a 2 hour drive today to go see the baby?
How many miles do you suppose I need to run to balance out all the chocolate she is bringing home?
A big thanks to Quinn and family for putting up with Lisha this past month.
Pauline has gone shooting again today. This time with the Woodhouse's and Max and Valentin. Welcome to the "Wild,Wild West".
