I am really late on this post.
This is normal.
Meet our number three
Molly Grace.
One of her distinctions in our home is that she was our tiniest baby.
She loves it when I tell her that.
Molly is quite the personality in our home.
You could probably say she is THE personality in our home.
She even sleeps with personality--can you see her? No? Me either.
I often have to go poking in her bed at night during the final "mom check" to see *where* she is in comparison to all her stuffed animals and Barbie Dolls that she has to sleep with because, as she puts it,
"I can't pick just one, Mom"
It's her bed, what can I say?
Oh yeah, and she often sleeps in a dress.
That's just Molly.
Molly has taken up sports which was quite a surprise to us because she's always been more of a girlie girl. Now we just describe her as a girlie girl tomboy.
She's loves to dig in dirt so much that Memaw and Papa always gave her a special place in the backyard to dig. Needless to say, she LOVED the beach sand and even digging in our backyard in Florida was heaven to Molly.
She's always been a tactile child and literally washed her hands in her food everytime she ate until the age of around three, when I finally put a stop to it.
From time to time, however, she is still known to do it when I'm not looking.
Molly views sports as alot of fun, as shown below, because she believes it to be a very important time in her social development.
Chatting over bottled water while sitting on the bench is as important for Molly as playing the sport itself.
She he has pink soccer shoes & basketball shoes with pink in them.
Molly is very photogenic. As a matter of fact, I cannot remember a bad picture of Molly.
She takes after her Aunt Erin, who she emulates.
She LOVES to be compared to Aunt Erin.
I love, and at times absolutely loathe, that she is so much like my sister.
They both can have SUCH a *Diva* personality.
This is Molly with some of her fellow third graders in a limo ride at the annual
"Third Grade Manners Luncheon"
The person she has wrapped around her little pinky.
Her "Escort for the Day"
This is such a "mom picture".
Happy Belated Ninth Birthday Blog, (March 24th) Molly Grace.
She now wants to be known as Molly Grace, by the way.
A result of living in the south.
She does southern so well.
This next picture is just revenge.
My sister, Molly Grace's Aunt Erin.
I threatened to post it on my blog because she kept making gestures for the camera that I cannot rightly post, as I try to keep my blog PG.
See how photogenic she is?
Gotcha', Erin.
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,pppbbbththth!!!

So, Wow.. I just read both of your blogs. Im gonna probably email you on the other one.
The picture of Gerald and Molly made me tear up a little bit. I miss you guys soo much. I think I miss that point in my life and feeling like I was a part of something so much bigger than me. I dont feel like that ever anymore. If I ever do feel anything deeper than the surface, its a lost feeling. Im happy on the surface, but it only goes so far. I come across as happy, and people have noticed that I seem so happy lately or that Im doing "better" whatever that means.. But anytime I start to talk beyond the surface, I start to stumble and think, I dont want to go there. So I just skip over it. I dont know, its too easy to just try and ignore it. The last time I tried to get it out, it didnt get me anywhere so I constantly just give up and say whatever. I really do miss last year and a little before that when I was passionate about something. Ive lost that. Or at least I feel like I have. I changed so much, and so much of it is good, but I feel like I lost a part of what I loved about myself, my way of thinking, and I dont know how to get it back. Im jealous of the fact that you vent and dont feel numb anymore. I vent and I feel more numb. I vent and it brings back memories and then I say forget it and move on again. Its an endless cycle and I think its rediculous. Anyways, all that to say, I miss you guys and Happy Birthday Molly.
By the way, your sister is gorgeous. Just wish I could see the other gorgeous sister every once in you know a lifetime. Especially since we all know you got your hair did a while back and I still havent seen it...
I need to get my hair "did" again soon and then to have Tammi take a *good* picture of me and then send it to you to erase that extra 50 that overwhelms me in photographs.
I have a current picture of my foot and I meant to post it for you and Tam and forgot, dangit.
I'm mulling over what you wrote. It's good to hear the Katie I remember. I heard the fire in you trying to get out.
I'll email you-we can chat about things.
Gerald has a tough time reading stuff from all his former students. He got up and walked away from it. That's part of the scars to which I referred. It takes a while, Kat and it's important that you vent and then vent some more. We still vent to those that were involved in our initial "introduction to the fire" back in Kansas City...almost five years ago now.
We're not over it, just through it.
I'll email.
I'm sure Tammi will give you her thoughts, as well. That's why this blogging works so well for all of us.
My sister IS gorgeous, isn't she?
I always thought so also. She's much more talented than I, is very fashion-savvy, can handle anything that is thrown her way and made straight A's.
She's very socially conscious which teaches me alot. I love her--can you tell?
nice picture urin.
Cruella DeVil wants her face back!
Mark,
That was hilarious.
Happy Birthday Molly!
As for that other stuff....well, it requires some thought, and I'm only on my first cup of coffee.
