important lesson of the past week( maybe two weeks)

as most of you, or all of you readers know, my sister Emily is in competitive gymnastics. last friday( the twelfth) / saturday ( the thirteenth) my sister worked super hard and got many new skills, but in return for her getting new skills, her leg started to really hurt. she started complaining it hurt. often at nights she would need a hot water bottle to help ease the pain. one day we went to my grandparents farm, my mother knew my grandparents had tensor bandage, so she asked if we could borrow it. they said yes. so a few days later i asked her to create a dance with me. after i asked i realized that she probably could not do any of the fancy tricks we would often create together. when i was about to say, " oh yeah, your leg hurts." then walk off, but Emily said, " sure Anna, but maybe we should take it easy. and not have too hard or difficult moves" i agreed and we both found music we liked, or as Emily would probably say;"Anna choose different songs and i got to chose from them." 
all of that made me think of "don't let your injuries get in the way of what you want to do", or "don't let  your injuries take hold of you".
thats all for now;

  1. Hi Anna,

    It's great that you and Emily can still do stuff like dancing together even though she has pain in her leg. Is she still off from gymnastics or has she started again? I hope she is doing better.

    We are still planning to come out to see you probably around the 23rd or so of August. That's in about 3 weeks. Right now Nick and Andreas are here while U. John and A. Sandy are in Montreal for a folkfest there. It rained this morning and the creek flooded a bit so the boys had some fun watching twigs and branches float away. We've done some hiking and even some geo caching. Found two of them! It was quite exciting.

    Hope your summer is going well!

    Love, Oma

  2. Hi Anna, I decided to check your blog to see if you posted anything new. How is school going? Do you have all new teachers this year? What kind of activities have you signed up for this year? Still doing Jazz? Guitar? Flute?
    I'm busy working on a newsletter for Mennonite Women Canada. I do the set up and have to make sure that I get everything in and that it looks nice and is easy to read. It's only 4 pages but it all takes time.

    Opa is out spraying the grapes today. The harvesting should start in about a week or so. Say hi to everyone!

    Love, Oma

  3. Hey Anna,

    How is school going? You must be very busy as you haven't posted anything since July!!!!
    Neither have I so I guess I shouldn't be getting after you to post. I'll try to put some photos on my blog soon! I had a nice birthday last week and liked the birthday greetings that all of you sent me via Mom's phone! I'll check again soon!

    Love you, Oma
