ZHEN AND ROSIE

OK - maybe the bed is a little narrow for both of them.

It is, however, the most comfortable bed in the house.

COLD MORNINGS

Rosie

In the golden lamplight of a very early morning, I caught Rosie getting as close to the heating vent as she could possibly manage.  Soon Zhen would be right next to her, and Sergei sitting next to the one in the dining room.  Wouldn't a fireplace be nice?

AND OVER TO MY RIGHT....

...Zhen is lying on the couch with Rosie.  I am glad that we have that extra week of school vacation.  Otherwise it really would have been no "vacation".....just holiday business.  This week, even though I am at work myself, is restful.....no constant rush from one thing to another. 

No; we have to hurry home, so I can get to the store. 
We have to hurry and eat dinner so you can get your homework done. 
Hurry!  You'll be late for basketball!
Hurry!  We have to get home so I can help Sergei with that homework!
Hurry and brush your teeth, so we can get to bed.
We can read one chapter only; we have to go to sleep!
Hurry and get up. 
Get down here and eat something; hurry!
Hurry and get in the car. 
Hurry!  We're late! 
Run!  Hurry! Get into the school so you aren't late for Chapel!
We needed the rest.
