 Because she'll be 6 in two weeks and because we had these dresses ready for Independence's day but all the earth quaking disrupted the celebrations and parades...

 This is what women have traditional worn in the past.  Now mostly only girls wear them during wedding festivities.






 The girls made up the dance as they went along but it looked pretty authentic.


 He was sad I didn't have a dress for him and didn't have cloths on at all, but he had to get in on the fun.
 not getting her way face











We finished and then had a 5.1 quake....
Someone said she wouldn't really expect the quakes to stop for 6 months to 2 years...

 We are trying to do the book "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons".... It might take us 6 years to get through but the "M"s she wrote by herself.
 So when live gives you earthquakes, make a tent (where things wont fall on you.)  This is between my house and the market.  Now these houses had very little or no damage.  "We just don't want to remember the panic.  Just taking a bath, I'm not brave enough to take one in the house yet."
 A friend said, in town (not that much damage) people are still afraid that if there is another quake their house might fall on them.  Up north, everything has fallen or must be pulled down, so the worst case scenario has already happened there's not much they have to worry about now.


 This one is my favorite.  The beds are rolled up in the corners of the tent and I drove through it to get to the market.

 The house is in the wall, they sleep and have the tv in the "tent."


 Our house :o)  it's fine.  We are sleeping in our beds, except for Journey (it was hard to get her down off the top bunk in the dark the last big quake, so she's on a "down bed").
House has the green gate, the tv and they sleep in the tin shack.
