The Easy Way or The Hard Way

Joseph and Marianne were playing hide-and-go-seek.  Marianne found a hiding spot. 

Joseph called out, “Okay, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Where are you?”

Marianne quickly responded, “I’m over here.”

Marianne and Her 18 Dresses

Marianne loves wearing a dress.  She is a lot like Jaylee.  Even as an adult, Jaylee prefers dresses over pants.

We like going to the DI (thrift store) because you never know what someone else is going to give away.  We found several cute summer dresses for Marianne, and they are cheaper than a basic t-shirt at Wal-Mart.  For $3-$5 we can buy a darling dress, and little girls look so cute in dresses. 

Marianne wears some of her dresses to go to church, but she uses most of them to play in. Every day, she picks out a dress to wear for the day.  She would like to continually change her outfit, but we limit her to one or two dresses a day.  If she gets dirty in the morning, she puts on a clean dress to take her nap.

She thinks she needs a new DI dress every time I go to town.  I think we have enough dresses for the summer. 

Emma and Me

Emma is my little sister, and she is almost 4 months old. She likes me, and I like her.  You know why she likes me? It’s because I’m her favorite brother. She feels calm and safe with me. Sometimes I lay on the couch and she lies on my tummy and falls asleep. 

 

Sometimes she is not tired and I have to walk around and show her all the fun things around the house and outside. Emma loves me. Here is a picture of her and me.   Some pictures are when she was first born and some are now.
