The last week was awesome. Hailey did her Stateqalifications in the 50yds in 0:25.03 and the 100yds in 0:55.33 tuesday at Jenison High School. So she can swim at the statefinals the 50free, the 100free, the 200free relay and the 400free relay. She wasn´t, however, the only one, who qualified for the state finals. Adrianna did her 100fly in 1:00.1 and Dakota her 50free in 0:24.83 at thursday. Both are members of the Rockford Swimming and Diving Team. Thursday, as well, was Senior Night at Rockford Highschool for Girls Swimming and Diving and the Girls Volleyball Team. Unfortunately they lost versus Grand Haven. The same night, although, the Detroit Tigers eliminated the Yankees in the afterseason playoffs. They won 4 games and the last was like a punch in the face for the Yankees! Their best pitcher let Miguel Cabrera do an two point homerun and another two point homerun for the Tigers. At least they won 8:1. Friday was opening night for Flat Stanley. The show at the Civic Theater, which Andrew and Amanda take part in. It´s a great show. Saturday we went to 24hour Theater at the East Grand Rapids Highschool, which is a challenge for Writers, Directors and Actors. The writers write a play in 12 hours and the Directors and Actors have 12 hours to perform it. It was awesome! After that we went to a haunted Cornfield. It was really scary, but great performance of the actors and builders. For example there were „cornfed clown“s, who chase you or little girls, who started screaming. Yesterday night I cooked aspargus soup. It was very yummy. Just used sour cream instead of fresh cream. As well we went to the movies and saw „Perfect Pitch“. It’s such a great movie! This week will be busy with two tests and a few shows of Flat Stanley.
Hey Felix,
das ist alles sehr interessant, aber vielleicht gibt es ja in der Zwischenzeit
einige neue Nachrichten aus Michigan. Wie nimmst Du z.B. den Wahlkampf
wahr? Für uns hier läuft das alles unter dem Motto:“The show must go on!!“

Hi Felix,
the little package arrived today. I’ll wait till Maja comes home tonight, she has FirstAid all weekend at the DLRG. And I am sure she wants to open it. What about wuppersaver? Too much to do? A lot of people keep asking if you got affected by Sandy. I hope everything is allright, even with the boat because we heard that the Lakes had real high waves.
We had our premiere show last night, everything went well.
Have a great weekend and say hallo to everybody, please.
Mum
