Markus gets up around 5:15, and I make him usually a smoothis and eggs (omelette, egg burrito, or scrambled eggs), and then he leaves few minutes before 6 am to get to early morning seminary before school starts.
Kai will wake up around 6:30, and he usually has pancakes with syrup and a strawberry-orange-banana smoothie, before rushing to his school around 7:35.
Maija and Niko get up around 7:30 and their breakfast of choice is either cereal or waffles, and then it is off to school for them as well.
So if you are in mood for eggs, pancakes, waffles or smoothies...our house is a place to be in any given morning.
I knew that even though some good things must naturally come to an end and that there would undoubtedly be many hard things in the future,
the good things would keep on coming.
And they always would—as long as I let them.
Even as those I love moved on,
voids would be filled with new and amazing people and experiences
I had never even imagined."
And so tonight I want to thank everybody who has shared some happy times and some sad times with me. My life has been and continues to be wonderful because of the family, friends, and even acquaintances,
I like my house because it always has some action, because
so many boys are usually taking it over with screaming, fighting, and attacking
one another.
I always tell my mom not to give them sweets! Especially
Niko, he always takes control of our house. My other brother, Kai is very
crazy!
Now I don’t even know why this is one of my Henderson Hot Spots.
My other brother, Markus is sometimes mean but mostly nice.
When I do my homework it is always loud and crazy.
Once I was doing my homework and all of a sudden it starts
to get all crazy down stairs and I wanted to see what was going on but I had to
stay and do my homework. By the time I was done with my homework the craziness
was gone so I never knew what was going on.
