Crafty Daughter

I am not a crafty person. My grandmother was crafty. Her sister was VERY crafty. My sister Julie is quite crafty. Me? Not so much. So when Emily tells me she needs to go to Joanne's or Michael's to buy craft supplies, I am confused. You need WHAT? Green felt, red felt, yarn, glue gun, wha?? So her daddy took her to Michael's. I guess she knew just what she needed. How does she know these things? I have no idear. She came home & started doin' something. When she was done, I couldn't believe it. Dad couldn't believe it. We don't need our store bought advent candy holder felt thingee this year! Double click on the last picture to see the detail. Maybe it's just cause I am the mommy, but I don't think so. It is beautiful....and she just turned 10. You go, crafty girl!!

A report by Emily, age 10 (almost)

Current Event:
Barack Obama’s Grandmother Dies
Emily, Nov. 3’08

The day before 2008 election, Barack Obama’s grandmother dies after a long time of putting up with cancer. She died in her apartment in Honolulu. Barack called her Toot since he was little. She had mostly raised him, and helped build his character. Obama’s mother was white, and his father was black so his Grandmother was white. Barack did not collapse when he heard about her dying, but he took it maturely because he had seen her and said good-bye before she left, and he knew that she was going to die soon. This is important because it shows that in a terrible situation, he would not panic, he would take it responsibly and handle it in a calm manner.
