New Friends from Arkansas

Hi everyone! It's Morgan with the second post for today. (If you haven't seen my first post, click here). Over Spring Break, I got to visit my grandmother in Arkansas. My mom and I went up for a week to spend Easter with her. It was really fun to be only child for a little bit (my siblings stayed home with my dad). I took a lot of pictures, and met a new friend. Melodie also met a new friend, who happened to be connected to my new friend. I am sure you are a bit confused right now, so let me explain what happened.

I drove up to Arkansas with my mom on a Friday and got there that night. I had been once before, and Melodie has been a few times. I was excited to spend time with my grandmother, because we share a lot of the same interests.

The next day, I met a girl named Emily. She was borrowing my grandmother's vacuum, because she and her family were moving. I talked with her, and they were moving to our neighborhood! (what are the odds?) We spent Easter together, because she goes to my grandmother's church. We had a lot of fun spending a week together. Her mom owns a boutique, and I got a cute new outfit. They were moving to open another boutique. Here are pictures of us hanging out.

The day we met at my grandmother's house. (Mom behind the camera this time)

Emily's birthday was the day before she moved. I made her the dress, and the bow was a surprise from her cousin.

I am going to let Emily introduce herself, and then Melodie is going to tell about her new friend.

Hello. My name is Emily Kate Jones, and I moved from Arkansas. I love to act, and I have been many leading roles in plays and musicals. I also adore fashion, and I love to help my mom out in her boutique. Someday I hope to be CEO of my mom's boutiques, which I hope to spread nationwide. I also enjoy art and spending time outdoors.

Hello. It is Melodie now to tell about my new friend. On the Saturday before Easter, I noticed a girl moving in across the street, so I went over to say hi. Her name was Sierra, and she had just moved from Arkansas. I didn't have my camera, or I would have taken a picture. I invited Sierra to come over on Monday, and she agreed.

I talked with Sierra, and I happened to mention my sister was visiting Arkansas and met a girl named Emily. Sierra sounded excited as she asked if I had a picture of this Emily. When she saw the picture, she started to laugh. When she calmed down, she told me that Emily was her cousin! We all had a good laugh after that.

Sierra explained that her family moved to Tennessee because Emily was going to. It was so funny that I met Sierra when Morgan met Emily. I am going to let Sierra introduce herself.

Hi! I am Sierra Erin Thomas, Emily's cousin. I am passionate about photography, and I am never happier than when I am in a tree getting a picture. Besides photography, I love drawing, playing with my Irish setter puppy Brownie, and spending time with my cousin.

I hope you enjoyed the introductions to Emily and Sierra. You will see plenty more of them to come.

What do you think of Sierra and Emily?

Sorry for Lack of Posts and an Introduction

Hi everyone! It's Morgan. I am sorry no one has posted in awhile, so I decided to explain why, and tell you about what we've been up to.

So, the reason we haven't posted is we have been super busy finishing things, like some classes, ballet, etc. Melodie and I have had a lot of schoolwork to do amidst the craziness of ballet. We finished most of it last week, so hopefully we'll be free to post more often. We still have a few things that need to be finished, but for the most part we are done with school!

We have been really busy amidst this with ballet, and other little things. One of the cool things I need to blog about is my trip to Arkansas over Easter/Spring Break (our school's Spring Break was the week after Easter, which was amazing). I am going to show a few photos on that in a post I am going to write after this one (so you are getting two posts in one day!)

I also want to introduce someone to you. This is Summer. She is Charlotte and Audrey's new sister. She came to their family in December (and I still haven't posted about her). I will let her tell you a little about herself. (Summer is the blond one in the white shirt on the right)

Hello. My name is Summer Allison Johnson White, and I was adopted into the White family this year. Audrey and I were best friends in foster care, and now we're sisters! I like drama, ballet and softball, especially when I get to play it with friends.
