Maxine Moved to Ethiopia

Well, Maxine's family moved to Ethiopia for 2 years. The government of Ethiopia blocks Blogger so, Maxine's parents had to start a new website: http://web.me.com/ilkawallace

Before she left Tucson, Maxine's Auntie Lisa wrote her a song which she performed with Uncle Ted, Ben and Henry. Below is

"Ode to Maxine"

Maxine, Maxine... we don't want you to go
Leaving us is worse than the economy's new low
We will miss your little Miss Piggy face
Which would come in handy as we watch our nation's presidential race
we will send you letters and skype
Check our emails every night
We will think of you day by day
Imagining you sprouting tall
Waiting to hear the words you will say
So grow under the African sun
Learn how to zip, zoom and run
At night we will look at the moon
And know that on the other side of the globe
The same ray's are shining into your room.
