Sierra's Snow Day!

This afternoon it warmed up some, so Sierra headed outside to play in the snow! We don't have much snow, just a dusting, but still, she had fun!
We don't have much snow, but yet it is freezing! That's what bugs me the most... If it's going to be this cold, there should at least be more snow.
Anyways, enjoy the pictures! They've had a little picnik magic worked on them to have the "snowing" effect.

Edited to add: The surprise got here sooner than expected! Post coming soon!

More of Sierra

Inspired by Zipporah's blog entry, Brooke decided to get a few more pictures of her #11, Sierra. She just moved here to Mondale Boarding School, and is adjusting really well. She's traveled all over the world, so I guess that being in a new place doesn't really bother her that much. I talked to her a little bit, and learned more about her. Her full name is Sierra Renee Nicholas. Her dad was in the Navy. They had to travel a lot because of that, and when he was done serving the country, they just kept on traveling. Her mom is a nurse, which, I'm assuming, is where Sierra gets her helping personality from. She's been to Egypt, Kenya, Germany, Mexico, China, Brazil, Thailand, and Norway, plus a lot more I can't even remember! I told her a lot about France, and she said she'd love to visit there.

With all her travels, Sierra was home schooled. Until a few weeks ago, when her parents thought she needed some socializing with other kids her age. That's why she came to Mondale. Her parents were also going on a long voyage around South America, and they weren't able to bring her. So, here she is at boarding school! Sierra also loves animals. She said that when she was in Africa, she got to hold a baby chimpanzee, how neat! She wishes she could have a pet, but her travels don't allow it.
Her favorite colors are purple and green (her outfit!) and when she grows up she wants to be a sailor.



Since Sierra loves to go to different places and travel, Brooke has been thinking about making her a traveling doll. She's not quite sure yet though, since the Traveling Cambria fright, and Sierra being gone so long.


In other news, our rain storm has passed (for now) and it is a little sunny outside. :)

Talk to you later,

Sierra and Erin are here, graduation, and ADD

Sierra Nicholas (JLY #11) and Erin Yeager (JLY #12) have been here a while, but this is the first time I've posted about them! :) I don't know how I can even begin to describe them!
Sierra(far left) is really the nicest person you will ever meet! She cares so much about other people. She's a great listener too. She volunteers a lot, and she loves animals. She has a caring expression. Sierra travels a lot, and has been in a lot of different countries like Brazil, Kenya, England, and China. The other day she showed me some of the things that she has from those countries, it was very neat! She said that she'd like to visit France one day.

Erin (far right) is very sporty! She plays soccer, lacrosse, baseball, basketball, volleyball, hockey, she's in track, plus she's a swimmer, a dancer, and a gymnast. And guess what? She fences, just like me! What's even crazier is that she is amazing at every single sport she plays! She just moved here, and she's already the best on almost all the teams she's on. She is so busy, with all the practices, meets, and games. Erin has the blondest hair I've every seen, it's so pretty! She always ties it up in a high, messy ponytail.

I'll tell you more about them later. The truth is, I'm still getting to know them!

Graduation is tomorrow (Monday). Everyone has to get all dressed up and go to a ceremony and the teachers give out trophies and certificates. I hope I get something! I'm not quite sure what I'm going to wear... maybe the Midnight Holly Dress, or something like that.

ADD is at a standstill. :( We'll still be doing the movie, but I'm not sure how soon we'll be able to get going on it. Brooke has been very busy. Her camera has been acting funny, and won't zoom in at all. It won't focus unless the light is perfect, and the flash washes everything out. Stop motions are a lot of work! We're trying, be patient!

Talk to you later,
