Happy 10th Birthday, Dear Abbi!

 Dear Abbi Grace,

Happy 10th birthday!  You are such a bright spot in my life!  I love your bright smile, your beautiful voice that is always singing, and your desire to show others that you care.  I love how much you love each of your sisters and you try so hard to make them happy.  When Alyssa is fussing that no one will play with her, you almost always give up your free time to make her happy again.  You are so incredibly helpful with Sophia and her face just lights up every time she sees you!  Thank you for the many times I have been in the middle of cooking and she starts fussing and you just go pick her up and make her happy without me even having to ask you!  You are at such a fun age and it is so wonderful to see how you can go play and imagine and have fun with your younger sisters and just as easily play the more difficult games with us and stay up a bit later.  You are such a joy to be around and your love and care for those around you is a blessing to so many!  I love how you truly think about how others feel and your compassion for them is an inspiration to me.


You chose cinnamon rolls for your birthday breakfast, chips with cheese for lunch, and Dutch pancakes for dinner.  Karis gave you all her scarves at breakfast and you were so delighted that you put them all on at once:











Sophia loved your birthday balloon:

A Fun Birthday Party

Image
  Saturday, May 1, 2021 From the desk of Karlie DeLong Our friend Emma Gay turned 13 this year, and she invited Karis and I to her party. We were going to go bowling and then go back to her house, but there was a tournament going on, so we just went back for a playdate. The other guests were Zoe Meador, Aubrey Ferguson, and Lilli Farnsworth. We played some games and then got dressed up for a really fancy dinner. Emma's parents dressed up as our waiter and waitress. We pretended that we were in the 1700's. It was so fun!

Random Ice Day

 We had a random winter storm and the girls were able to be out of school!  We forgot to take many pictures, but Karis used the time to re-organize her bookshelves.  Lolli decided that her legs made a nice pillow for a nap!  Abbi and Susanna were the only ones brave enough to try to go sledding on the ice but they had a lot of fun!

9 Poems

  May 29, 2021 Abigail DeLong I wrote nine poems about our pets. Here they are: Poem #1 Lolli and Cupcake were not friends when Lolli had her kittens. I was so happy, I sang a song while I jumped on the trampoline with Karlie and Susanna Delong. Lolli had her kittens, four, But suddenly, she had one more! Lolli has five kittens; they are so cute! They make me want to jump around the house and play a little flute. I am so proud of Lolli. She reminds me of Karis and Karlie! THE END Poem #2 One of the kitten's names is Taffy. Sometimes, she is very snappy. She was the third kitten born, but she cannot blow on a horn. She is a calico kitten, but she hasn't any mittens. Lolli is very proud, because sometimes, Taffy is loud. I love Taffy very much  because she is so fun to clutch! THE END Poem #3 One of the kitten's names is Truffles. He is sweet and loves to snuffle. He was the second kitten born,  but he is secretly a unicorn! With him, I like to cuddle, for he hasn...
