R's copy of a Georgia O'Keefe painting which we're studying in school.

We visited a refugee family in our neighbourhood today for the first time. I think we'll try to get to know them more. My favourite thing was seeing L click with their 10 yo daughter. She was tiny- came up to L's elbow (she has a heart defect) but very sweet and sparky and her and L got on brilliantly. The mum is only 40 but has 6 grandchildren! She was married at 14 then married 2 of her daughters off at 14 , which I find strange- you'd have thought you'd want to save your children from that, having been through it yourself. They live in an unfinished building which was dark and cold and they're struggling to get by :(
