Little Claire entered an art book (it ended up going into Literature because it was a book) into Reflections, and she was really proud that she got the Award of Merit! Lilly left it to the very last minute, and didn't even start hers until the deadline was due so I told her she couldn't enter it. I felt terrible, but she needed to learn she can't wait until the last minute to enter things like this. It was fun for Claire, so hopefully both girls will do it next year - and not wait until last minute!
My sweet Granny's birthday. She is having such a hard time not being in her home. Her spirits are low, and she can be a little grumpy, but she was darling on her birthday. She was so happy to see us, and get some flowers. She means so much to me and I am grateful for the enormous role she has played in my life.
I was super thrilled when I pulled up to get Claire from her friends house, and she looked like this. Fresh, thick paint. And it was everywhere. I was thrilled when she got in the new car like that and the paint got on the seats and on the seat belts!
The girls have had such a hard time being separated from some of their favorite little friends. I miss them too. Thank goodness for technology! I think they were on face time for like 30 minutes. They loved it!
Oh Maddy! This dog is SO loved. It's because she is always doing cute things...like this. She always likes to look down on us when we go down the stairs. Then she runs down after us. And, there is the lovely banister. It's almost done! It feels like it has taken us 6 months. Actually, I don't think I am far off on that assumption!
One of my favorite things is to tag along on the girls field trips. We walked to Dan's and they got a tour of the store, got lots of samples of things, and then got to scan something at the end. They loved it!
