My co-op is having a formal next month, and I’m going. It’s kind of like prom. This is my dress and shoes.
I’m excited! Now I just have to practice walking in those heels…

It's Spring!
The weather is beautiful, my Better Homes and Gardens magazine has arrived, and I'm inspired to start planning my flower garden! Any suggestions on which flowers I should plant?

Auntie
You’ve probably heard of my great-grand-aunt, or “Auntie,” as we like to call her. People are always amazed when we tell them about her. After all, she is 104.
It’s always fun to go see Auntie. The drive to her nursing home from my grandparents’ house in Indiana is about an hour and fifteen minutes long. We always pass the llamas and the striped cows.
Sometimes we’re worried that Auntie won’t recognize us, but she always does. It usually takes her a minute, but she knows who we are. Well, most of the time—once, she recognized all of us except for me, and she said, “Well, you must be engaged to one of these boys.” She’s so funny. Don’t worry, she remembered me eventually.
We’d get up really close and yell in her ear to ask her questions; usually the same ones from the last time. She won’t remember. ;) Once we asked her all about her life when she was young. She told us about her experiences in both of the World Wars—she was born in 1907, so she remembers both! It’s really cool to hear it from someone who was actually there, not just read it in a textbook.
Last night at 9:31 Auntie went to see Jesus. Although we’ll miss her, we’re so happy that she’s finally there.
She’s been ready for a long time! She’s no longer in pain; she gets to see her family again. We’ll miss her, but she’s finally home.
Here's the link to her obituary, if you're interested.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!
Today is my wonderful Mommy's birthday! I love her so much and I don't know what I would do without her. She does so much for our family. Love you, Mom! Feel better soon!

Mollie’s 2nd Birthday!
(Some of the photos in this post were taken with my film camera, which is why they may look a little funny. Apparently, the film was old.)
December 27th was Mollie’s second birthday! I can’t believe she is already two years old. I’m so glad that we live close to her and get to watch her grow up. (:
And of course, she had a princess birthday party. She’s such a girly girl.
There were princess stickers…
There were even crowns! :)
Birthday cake!
Mollie hasn’t learned how to blow out candles yet, so her daddy helped her.
Aren’t they an adorable little family??
“Wansome? Wansome cake?”
After we ate, Mollie opened her presents.
When Mollie was playing with those blocks later, Dad made it very clear that he wanted all 160 blocks back in that bag when they left. Thankfully, Mollie’s a very good helper, and only one was left. :)
She also got a tutu!
So cute!
I think this stroller was Mollie’s favorite present. She pushed it around for at least ten minutes, squealing and laughing!
Isn’t she just adorable? I love her so much!
