Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone..We are going to by brothers to celebrate..I had Sandra lookup the meaning of Thanksgiving and the tradition for it yesterday..When I told her how many people will be at my brothers she thought it was alot..11..So I am thankful that it is not the year for 30 or so..I want her to enjoy the day without being overwhelmed...Hap and I had chiropractic appointments yesterday so we took her and she had the exam and xrays..We go back for her on Monday and I really believe that it is going to help her in a lot of ways...I had noticed that she was having midback pain for a few weeks now...During the exam they realized the extent of a fall she had as a child...She said she fell off a large,cliff was the translated word) hill..With the translator it is sometimes hard to realize the exact word but it was a pretty big fall..She has 2 deep scars on the outside of one of her knees to prove it...anyway..the chiro did extensive xrays of her back to see if there might have been an old fracture...Monday will tell if there were any really bad injuries from before...It will be good to see the relief she gets once the treatments start...Then it will be a trip to the dentist to see what lies in her mouth...She has great looking teeth but you never know...
Well its is two days later and I am just getting ready to post this blog..Thanksgiving was great..Sandra ate so much she did the typical American thing..."I am so Full" was her response...Was a great day with 12 family members...She is getting completely submergered into english..No one spoke spanish..She is still hesitate to speak..So we are getting ready to really have to push her...Today Hap is fishing and Sandra and I are going over to some friends from church. They have a teenage daughter who is also 16 and a very good person..They have a pool table and Wii games so we are hopeing that the girls hit it off..She is in need of some girlfriends her age..That speak alittle spanish..She knows alot more english than she is willing to speak and I thought that she would do it on her own but it has become obvious that we will have to push and insist...She is so ready to do everything else without any prode but not the english speaking..SO push it will be..I am so excited to really be able to speak to her in depth..She loves to talk so I know we will have alot to talk about...Please keep this in prayer as the push begins...I will continue to try and post every couple of days...Thanks for your patience as I get into a routine...
