Saturday

On Saturday we had some special visitors who came to see us from KL. If you read this post I wrote in the spring, you will remember that we went to the island of Perhentian for our spring break. While there we met another adoptive family who also had a daughter close to KR's age. The two of them really hit it off and had a great time playing together. Her dad was the varsity boys bball coach of their school in KL, and had been to our school for a tournament a couple of years ago. He mentioned they might be attending again this year. He thought perhaps he could bring his daughter up with him when they came so that the girls could play together again. KR has been asking for the past several weeks if indeed they were going to come, but upon contacting them, he mentioned he was no longer coaching but that they would still like to come up as a family since they had never done that before. They arrived late Friday night and we got met them on campus Saturday morning. KR had a great time playing with her friend and I very much enjoyed my visit with her mom. We spent much of the afternoon together, then they took the girls to some spice gardens nearby here, and then we were back together for supper later in the evening. We are hoping it might work out to go to KL to visit with them sometime this coming spring.

During the evening Saturday, KR and KJ did do their singing at the student council Christmas banquet as I mentioned in my last post. KJ had fallen asleep right before it was time to go, so in the end she didn't end up singing, but she made a cute picture anyway. All the kids were cute in their hats and did a pretty good job considering they didn't really practice at all beforehand.
