Here is the latest on the bus drama. After Sojung and Marcus talked for close to 20 minutes about her bus ordeal we realized the wonderful and efficient folks at Prince William County School Transportation Dept. cannot read a map. The cards they sent out with the bus information were completely wrong. Tax dollars at work! They even admitted it to Marcus when he called. (By the way he is on a first name basis with them. I think Linda will be having Christmas with us!) The time was wrong, the bus number was wrong and the location was wrong. Good grief! The bus they told her to get on dropped her a mile, yes, a mile from our house. Poor girl. Did you see the shoes she wore yesterday? (Check out the picture from her first day of school.) They were not meant for long distant walking! I am so thankful she has been here since January and knows the neighborhood. Who knows where she would have ended up if she didn't know where our house was!
This morning Marcus waited for the bus with her. You see the bus stop is in our front yard. I can hear the bus in the morning in the house. We are that close. Not a mile away. She made it home safely and to the right place.
Sojung loves the school even though it is about 10 times larger than the school she attended last semester. Her exciting news was she met a friend that has a car and loves to shop. I fear we will never see her again! I am glad she is making friends and is excited.
Meanwhile, December keeps getting closer...
We have a new routine for Saturday mornings...
Get up early (wake mom up at the crack of dawn to make sure we don't miss the class) and have a healthy breakfast. Put on your leotard.
Make sure you have your swim towel and water bottle...
Betty starts off with gymnastics. She was very outgoing and was willing to try everything the teacher asked her. I think this picture will be perfect to show on TV when she wins her Olympic Gold medal. 
Can you find the sticker that is falling off of her while I am taking the picture?
Change into your swimsuit and run some laps...
This is as much fun as running in the church. (Which by the way the received permission from the Sr. Pastor to run like maniacs after the service.) Can you see the pure joy on her face?
On to swimming lessons. Go Audrey!
Perfect day! 
Listening to the teacher.
We call her Blue Betty when she gets out of the pool. She is so cold her whole body is blue. "Snuggle with me mommy so I get warm."
Audrey will start a cheerleading class on Monday. She can hardly wait!
Until next Saturday!
