A New Laurel!

 Tennyson baked a delicious peanut butter cake with milk chocolate frosting for Banner's 16th birthday.

 All of the candles were blown out in one breath.

Banner can now drive herself to school, piano lessons, Young Women's and church plus run to the store for me.

The newest Laurel in the OV1!

Happy 19th, Tennyson

New Blog

I've added a link to Nancy's blog. It's under her name in family blogs if you want to keep up with her and how her treatment is going.

Grey Lady!

 Today was Banner's Halloween Recital.  She decided she wanted to be the "Grey Lady".  She found this idea on the Martha Stewart website.

 We purchased all the gray and white tulle that they had at the Price Wal-Mart for the dress.

I then dyed the white tulle and some cream colored curtains for her head covering.

 Whitney spray painted the flowers gray and we tied black ribbons around the flowers and her waist.

 I used a paper doile and white face paint to do her face.  She looked very grey and gloomy.

She played Tcherepnin's Bagatelle in E flat for her piece and did a wonderful job.

Tennyson made these lovely carmel, chocolate, almond apples for us last weekend.  We've got so many apples we don't know what to do with them all.

Answers

Whitney was right on all the answers. Who would've thunk it! Now for a little explanation.

1. Miranda said this to Les(I think to scare her). Les didn't want to sleep over at our house ever again.

2. Tennyson said this and my astonishment wasn't that the bird was singing "Rock of Ages" but that my 4 year old knew "Rock of Ages".

3. This was said by a very annoyed 6 or 7 year old Whitney to her father. I could only laugh at his face, he was shocked that she wasn't interested in his advice.

4. Banner asked this question after overhearing a biblical discussion at Lizzy's house.
