Rebecca is our resident "know it all" now. LOL, yep, that's right, she's in Grade 3 and just knows it all. (just in case you didn't know) She has literally taken hold of the Norwegian language and has not only learned to speak it, but can read it at a third grade level. She speaks with daddy alot. She is doing well in her other subjects also. One bad thing is that she has lost alot of her English reading! Which is a disappointment. She was reading on a grade 4/5 reading level, but has digressed a bit. I hope to regain that ground again soon......

Rebecca is in the local Saetre/Folkestad schools band. She plays the alto horn for the moment, but this is her first year. You start off with something like this and the second year you can play what you really want to. Her goal is to play the flute! I'm almost CERTAIN she will do well in this! If you know her well, you know she WILL do well playing the flute.

Rebecca has also dabbled in playing soccer as well. She has attended many training camps but is not on a team yet. We'll see what happens with that. She has gone to just about everyone's birthday parties or costume parties in her whole class! LITERALLY! Boys or girls......she is well liked with just about all her classmates. (a few boys "like" her, but as we tell her, EDUCATION, education, education!!!!)

From Rebecca herself: I miss the field trips at school in the US. I miss everyone I use to hang out with back home. I miss Uncle Tom, Aunt Sue, Jenny, Snoopy, Aunt Kim, Uncle Jimmy and the kids and Charliebear, everyone at my old school and church. That's all.....just everyone!!! I know they miss me too!
