Dear, sweet Sara....

Sara is spending the next year in Seattle with her mom, as getting her into an international school her is nearly impossible with their waiting lists. She's going into the 4th grade, which seems completely impossible, but it's true. She'll be entering the world of pre-teen hormonal meltdowns before I can blink, I'm sure! Therefore, I refuse to open my eyes, enjoying the relative calm of 10-year-old-hood while I can! I know her parents are as well :) Some of her loves are swimming, hiking, camping, animals, biking, computer games and reading. Some of her extreme dislikes are ~ get this ~ bugs of any sort (I'm not sure why she likes to camp, as she spends the whole time getting away from the bugs) and spiders (completely arachnophobic, and I'm not exagerating, as I'm known to do).

She'll start the school year in early September, so I hope she's enjoying the rest of what the summer in Seattle has to offer! : )
