I have a dream......


Abegail had to write a letter to Dr. King in her ESL class; She is very curious about Marin Luther King Jr. and I think it has hit her she and Annie wouldn't be in the same house without him:

Dear Dr. King,
Thank you for the world. I love you. Thank you for leting us go to the same school. Thank you for leting us go to the same bathroom. Thank you for bringing pace to the coutnry. Thank you for bringing white people and black people to the same school. How dit you feel when you were talking in front of so many people? Dit it feel good?
Your friend,
Abegail

    Not sure why, but her actual letter shows up in the font Webdings, quite impossible to read. It was readable when I copy/pasted it into word and changed the font though :)

Then after about the 15th question, I realized it was probably a bad idea to even mention the tooth fairy.

An hour and a half later, I walked into their room and A & E were asleep in E-Man's bed with the blanket pulled up over their heads. And Annie had sneaked away to HER bed. I asked Abegail this morning if the tooth fairy came. She said...

Today is Abegail's first day of school !!! And like our parents did for us...we made the kids pose for pictures! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture in focus until the bus arrived.
