Ice-skating, November 2018

Last November 10 last year, the two girls tried their first ice skating experience at SM MOA skating rink.

They started with an instructor each for 1 hour, after which they were on their own, falling several times.

We (me and wife) rented a snow bear for them, allows them to stand and slide slow without falling down.

They enjoyed it though they were cold and have some sore legs and butts that night :-)

GVS UN day, October 2018

So many old pics about the two girls, will upload some of them.

Last October 26, 2018, Golden Values School (GVS) held a UN day celebration with presentations by students.

At GVS Pasig, the high school students. Elle Marie (red dress, middle) is in Grade 7.

At GVS Makati, the grade schoolers have their own presentations too. Below the Grade 3 kids, Bien Mary (4th from left) posing, dancing.

Food feast after. Bien with her favorite classmate, Tiana.

The Martinoff kids

The Martinoff kids -- Minday, Sarah, Maxwell, Malcolm -- children of Bjorn and Vicki Martinoff, are the regular playmates of Elle and Bien. On average they have a playdate about once a week. Below, Sarah, Bien, Elle, Minday.
