The kids had a great time writing letters and decorating the envelopes today. The longer we did it, the more I was getting excited. Just the thought that all the soldiers in Iraq who will be receiving these letters will hopefully be blessed. One of the little girls came up to me and said, "Mrs. Rae, thank you.

Shawn and I were talking last night about what I could do with the children at the Psychiatric center, where next school year I'll be teaching writing and art. I wanted to do something to enhance their writing, and perhaps get their minds working. Shawn suggested that I have them write letters to the soldiers in Iraq, and also have them color the back of the envelope

Reply to Crushing on JU writers in Personal Relationships Stardock Forums

That was a good article! "Crushes. Nothing ever happens from them, usually." I agree with you. I being the married woman that I am, also have crushes, and Shawn will give me a talking to if he reads this. Anyways, Crushes are pretty much harmless. I really enjoyed that! Good Job! Emma

Alysia hasn't cried as much today now that I started her on the formula. She seems to be eating better and sleeping. I'm Loving It! I spent time with Shawn today, without talking about what we should do about the crying. Alysia has one more appointment left this week. Then her next one will be in 2 weeks. She's grown so much in the past 3 days. I have a dumb dumb que

Shawn. . . You made me laugh and cry at the same time. And this is one of the many reasons that I love you as much as I do. You're my best friend. I'm glad your home. Alysia and I are so lucky to have you. I love you too, and I'm also looking forward to many more years. BTW. . . if you're wondering when I managed to slip in here to write this to you without your noticing, you're in the shower. lol. . . I love you. Emma
