Nov. 16, 2009 - UP

I UP.

Nov. 4, 2009 - On a calander, I am weighed down, chained, slowly dragging myself towards December.

So, Taylor, Hailey, and I must have gone crazy. We're typing up Lord of the Ring on our computers. We're going to act it out.

I had a flute competition on Sunday. I WON.

Taylor, Hailey, and I played our instruments at a church.

My birthday's in a few days. about 20-something days.

Taylor did nursery at church last Sunday. Hailey's doing nursery this week, and me the week after that.

Taylor also is a little sick.

We're going to the Annie Moses Band concert this Sunday!

We have a day off of school today.

Taylor and Hailey got me seasons 3 & 4 of I Love Lucy for my birthday!

-Emma

Oct. 30, 2009 - He can sing, you can, too!

Oct. 23, 2009 - Early one morning just as the sun was rising, I heard I young maid sing in the valley below. Oh, don't decieve me, oh, never leave me. How could you use a poor maiden so?

I got my hair cut today, so I'm going to post pictures. (You may not be able to see much of a difference because of the view of the picture.)

BEFORE AFTER

It's less poofy now.

-Emma

Oct. 23, 2009 - Red, red, under the red rock. Red, red, under the red rock, red, red, under the red rock, etc.

I won Jessica's creepy sea creature contest.

-Emma

Oct. 15, 2009 - Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, Polly put the kettle on, we'll all have tea. Suki take it off again, Suki take it off again, Suki take it off again, we won't have tea.

Hi! Well, on... when was it? Thursday night I got a sore throat. It got worse that day, but not too bad. Then, it was the same on Friday, and Saturday. On Sunday it turned into a cold, and it was a worse cold on Monday. On Tuesday we went to this man's house who had built a Western Town in his backyard. He acted in Western movies. Nothing much happened on Wednesday, except Momzy started getting sick. Right now, Hailey's at violin lessons, Taylor's watching The Fellowship of the Ring's behind the scenes, and I'm watching The Return of the King. Tomorrow we're going to the STATE FAIR!

For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? ~Matthew 6:15

Oct. 6, 2009 - Hailey and Taylor want me to Update

Taylor and Hailey want me to update so, I told them, if they say that one more time, I'll say, "How's the weather where you are?" So...

How's the weather where you are?

Instead of a picture, I'm gonna do this:

And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Jesus Christ. ~Philippians 4:19
