Lyric wasn't happy about the B +, but she is in the advanced classes so I think she gets a break.  : - )

The Lyric Ya Ni is special.  The first day we laid eyes on her in Nanjing, Jianjsu, China I was definitely surprised.   The average Chinese orphan comes to their parents quiet, timid, crying or even kicking and screaming out of fear.  Not Lyric.  Mike was trying to catch her as she ran around the Civil Affairs office in her too small, cotton, Lavender outfit--her tiny butt cheeks hanging out, as she smiled and laughed.  I was laughing too, and asked, "Is she OK?"  The answer was, "Yes, she is just spoiled.  Different nannies take her home at night."  That was unheard of!  A spoiled orphan?!  Our guide said: "She not typical orphan."  I already knew that.  When we went back a couple days later to her orphanage  for the "goodbye" visit our guide said, "the orphanage so excited Ya Ni is coming back today!"  Then, the guide noticed the other parents with us, caught herself (a little too late) and threw in the other orphan's name that was also returning for her "good bye" visit that day.

If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the LORD your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your forefathers. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your forefathers to give you. You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young. The LORD will keep you free from every disease.

Deuteronomy 7:12-15
