~ Gracieland and Abbyville ~ A Beautiful Intersection: The Princesses

Hello everyone,

I know it has been a long time since you have heard from me, and for that I am sorry. For whatever reason things have really been busy for me. I have to be honest with you, being a big sister is no easy chore. There are so many things that I am resonsible for teaching that time simply goes by too quickly.

I am doing great. I have celebrated my third birthday (a couple times - and I am not complaining) and with that I have moved into a new class at school. Words can not describe how much I like my new class. For starters, there are tons of kids my age in there. That is so cool. And my friend from a long time ago is there too, way awesome. Also, there are lots of cool things for me to do and as I am one of the youngest in there, they can be quite challenging. As well, and I can't believe how cool this is, there is show and tell. So far I have taken my Cinderella Princess Barbie and something that was on my birthday cake. It was very cool and I can not wait until the next one. I am not sure what I am going to bring, but maybe they will let me bring my sister, Abby one day.

Speaking of Abby - WOW!!! Well it is official, she is a full on walker. She lets nothing get in her way and is all over the place. I love it.. mostly cause we can get in all sorts of trouble, I mean help mommy out. Actually, we are not being all that bad, given the fact we are three and one. Abby is also in a new class and absolutley loves it. She gets to do all sorts of climbing on slides and steps. Her favorite thing about the new class is the "water station." Talk about a MESS!!! Her teachers say she would spend the entire day at that one spot if they let her. She also likes the little couch in the room. One time, mommy and I went to get her at the end of the day and she was just sitting on the couch chillin'. She was so adorable.

All else is well. I got to go to Boston Market the other night and was so excited at the idea that when mommy asked if I remembered it (it has been a while) I shouted for all to hear "I love it." Mommy cracked up. Abby apparently likes it too... she managed to make sure the entire floor was covered in corn. Oh well.

Okay, well I should go for now, lots to do and the house is too clean. Have to do something about that.

Oh, below are some pictures that I thought were pretty cool. I have talked to mommy and daddy about the drop in picture taking and the possible implications it could have on my little sister in years to come. They have accepted my criticism and promised to kick it up a notch. We will see.
