I live there 6 mos. out of the year. (By the way.. I found your blog via another IA blogroll.)<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking... Brentwood or Long Beach.<BR/><BR/>Am I within a 5 mile radius there?Tasha Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031465671779589657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33123284.post-48513572883395805182007-09-24T05:29:00.000-07:002007-09-24T05:29:00.000-07:00Yes, I know how you feel, being a parent from a di...Yes, I know how you feel, being a parent from a different culture. I have no idea how practical this is, but maybe, if you feel you are striking up a contact with another, or other mommies (smiles, eye contact, etc), just your poquito of Spanish, and their halting English might be a blessing to both. And you can both pick up bits as you go along. Just making an effort is so important in reaching out to other cultures, and smiles go a LONG way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33123284.post-79248375798818436142007-09-21T21:15:00.000-07:002007-09-21T21:15:00.000-07:00Hey Laura,I love reading your blog too! I changed ...Hey Laura,<BR/><BR/>I love reading your blog too! I changed your name on my blog. That is a good idea, it is funny how I conciously protect our info and then I didn't even think about protecting the info of my friends...a totally random oversight. Anyway, good to hear from you. We are going to be at Disney in two weeks or so. We'll only be there three days, and it is Chris' whole family all gathering there, so I regret we probably won't have a lot of time...if you have passes or something, we do have extra reservations for Ariel's Grotto for lunch, and there would be room for you all if you wanted to try to meet up.<BR/><BR/>I am organizing a reunion for Del Sonics for June 28th of 2008. I contacted Mr. Cross and he is excited about it and will be there. It would be really fun if you could make it! I'm sure you'd have other, more conveniently located offers, but our house has room for you if you want to come and need somewhere to stay. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe how big Regan is getting. She is so adorable. We are in the process of becoming foster parents. Birth order is important to us, so we are only putting in for a baby less than fifteen months old. We are willing to love babies who wind up back with mom or dad and we are equally open to being a permanent placement for a kiddo who needs a home. We are excited!<BR/><BR/>You know everything else I've been up to from the blog. <BR/><BR/>Talk soon!Rebecca Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504769210970138851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33123284.post-12511340153715822452007-09-21T08:48:00.000-07:002007-09-21T08:48:00.000-07:00yeah laura thanks for posting this.

I'm glad that you're open to this setup, since we know others who have chosen other schooling simply because of that ratio. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had some good answers for you about how to interact with the other parents. You're not alone since many people live in this kind of environment and maybe, just maybe it will help us learn to take the gospel to people outside our groups?<BR/><BR/>Or you want wait until your daughter teaches you spanish!clydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423629356947146447noreply@blogger.com
