This is a picture of a firewood stove. It was used for burning ...guesses anybody?...I will answer that with answers to comments, so if you have a guess write comments. ( Hint: something dies ) In the picture I am preparing to "walk-the-dog" on my yoyo. It's the red dot next to my knee. Before we went to the Circular Mound Altar ( where the stove was ) we wandered a giant garden of small pine trees. I tried to lose my sisters. Sometimes it would work and I would
hide behind a tree and watch. Then, once or twice, when they would walk past I would jump out and rrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrthem.
This, as my dad told me, was for burning the first born son-so we should keep up the tradition hahaha! and tried to put me in one. Later I played the same trick on Rosa but changed it to the second daughter that is to be burned. Really it is for burnt offerings.
This is me doing an "around-the-world." I love to play with my yoyo because it is from my favorite yoyo show called Blazing Teens. It has all these cool special effects like if you can do a trick for a long time a flame dragon will appear etc. etc. Mrs. Reichers I am still doing homework . It's only on Sundays and Saturdays that I escape regular classwork. I know about 5 tricks and thats it for tricks.
For your enjoyment a family picture with the Hall For Good Harvest behind us. That day it was very windy until we got into the small forest.I hope you enjoyed this blog entry,
goodbye!

Hi Noah,
You're getting to see so many really interesting sites! I envy you! Here in Portland it's cold and rainy and not much is new or different.
Say 'hi' to your mom and dad and sisters for me,
Michele
Hi Noah, this is Evan. When you went to the Temple of Heaven did you stand in the middle where only the emperor could stand? When we went to China all the tourists did that and so did we. My mom remembers that it was a terribly hot day. Today we had the book fair at school. Hope you are having fun. Evan
Hi Evan, this is Noah. Yes, I did stand at the place where the emperor would make sacrifices to heaven on the day of the winter solstice --on top of the Circular Mound Altar!
There was a book fair?? I never even get anything!
Hi Noah,
It was very funny that your dad joked about burning the first-born son in the stove, because I am the first son in my family too.
You just missed our big Chinese and English exams. Hope you are having a good time because when I was in China the year before, I had lots of fun.
Don't forget Bill and Kevin Wang.
Hi Noah!
I bet you had fun at The Temple of Heaven. Here in Portland I have a lot of Nutcracker rehearsals and I have my last ballet class tomorrow until next year. Otherwise everything else is normal. Mrs. Riechers had us homophones. She had us make our own and then had to make it into a sentence. Mine was:I read a red covered book. My homophones were red and read. Hope you are still having fun in China!
Sincerely,
Sarah Stone
Noah,
How are you doing? I'm doing fine. Today it started to snow. I am looking forward to more snow this winter. The weather here has gotten down to 31 degrees. Do you like the food in China? I hope you are having a good time.

Hi Noah. This is Evan. It snowed today and there is going to be a big windstorm. We decorated our house for Christmas and we can get our tree next week. I had my choir concert today and my mom's favorite song was "Mary, Mary" and I think it sounds sad,slow, and quiet. Good night, and happy late birthday.
Evan
