Hi,
On the 13 my Grandma and Emily flew in from VA. Grandma left on the 16.

On the 22 I had my 13 birthday. I had mint chocolate chip ice cream cake with hot fudge frosting. I got 2 fish for my fish tank, a red 12x12 album, the bible edition of Scatergories, a bag and bracelet from my friend, a necklace and a porcelain statue from my other friend and a night of scrapbooking with my mom and friend. That is tomorrow night.

I also went with the Babiak's when they visited their friends in Michigan. I went to their house on the 23 after super. I spent the night because we left at about 4 am. We got there about lunch time on Friday and left about 3 pm on Sunday. We camped in the yard. We had a ton of fun!! They have 5 biological children that are moved out, two sisters from Brazil and 5 kids from Liberia. The one girl from Brazil is mine and Kaila's age. We had a lot of fun with her. The Babiak's kids from Liberia knew the other kids when they were all in Liberia still. They also got to see two other girls that have been adopted into an other family.


On Monday we started school. It has been going fairly well. I think we are all adjusting to getting up earlier still, but we are all fine.

Well I had better go now.

Hi Paige, I was so happy to see you when you came to VA. I am glad you had a nice trip to MI and met with all those kids. I bet it was a lot of fun.

I love you,

Yes I did have a lot of fun! The family in MI came to visit the Babiak's a different time, so I met them at church.
