Jack O’s Face

While we were packing to leave Bancroft I went through a box of all my old school papers my sweet Mama had kept through the years. It was funny (and embarrassing) to look through the drawings and the old report cards. I saw right there how much of my scholastic and non-scholastic personalities were already manifesting themselves. My teachers report:

“Aubri is such a sweet girl and a good listener, but bless her heart she just can’t multiply to save her life!” 

Ok, they didn’t say that, but…read between lines….

Anyway, I didn’t keep a lot of my old work but some things I had to set aside. This book was one of them.

I’m not sure when I made it. Based on the handwriting I’d say probably 12th grade? Ha ha, I’m so funny. Well, maybe 2nd or 3rd grade since scissors were involved. And I’m sure I didn’t create the little story on my own, most likely a clever art teacher somewhere did, so I won’t claim that much creativity for myself.

I stashed it with our Fall decorations and pulled it out the other day to read to the babies. Lily loved it and decided to make her own which is a good idea since this one due, to it’s antiquity, is falling apart….papyrus you know.

July 28th the day we moved to Omaha was Lily’s seventh birthday. We rolled into town, piled into the MegaVan and headed over to our new friends’, the Berndt’s house for supper. We were all very surprised to find they had a surprise birthday party planned for our girl! Cupcakes, balloons and a gift to make her day special.

I asked Lily to go into the nursery to wake Mercy. She did it AND actually got her out of the crib!!! Now that is some serious and helpful HELP! The days I only imagined coming are starting to come!

We’re all very excited.

You Can’t Handle The Tooth

Lily finally lost the second of her two front teeth. She’s been enjoying that fact that she can’t pronounce a lot of words correctly anymore.

“Mama, instead of Lily RooSS (Ruth) I say Lily RooFF!”

“Mama, instead of tooSS I say tooFFF!”
