*Annabel*

Annabel, what can I say? You're the best sister I could wish for. You're almost tooperfect! We play all the time and have an amazing amount of fun! When you're not around, I miss you so much. You make me feel happy and loved.

I can trust you with everything, even my deepest, darkest secrets. I feel like I can tell you anything and the most important thing is, I can be myself around you 100%!

Every day you grow more and more and I watch you become an amazing, beautiful person inside and out. You love to explore and learn. You love to give and help. You're very willful and strong physically and mentally.

I hear you sing and my heart fills with joy and love. You make the world feel warm and happy with your voice. You are a gift.

Annabel, I love you more than you'll ever know and it'll stay that way forever. Don't you forget that.

Your big sister and best friend,

xoxo Sky xoxo

How to Get Started Homeschooling

Naomi

I've known Naomi since I was a newborn baby. We've been best friends since. I went to my first day of preschool with her and I try to see her every summer. Sometimes it doesn't work out. I didn't see her this summer but I saw her the summer of 2008.

I sure do miss her and the blackberries by her house!

Us on our way to preschool for the first time

Still buddies in 2008 :)

*Shawn*

Shawn is six. He's so cool. He plays the drums. He does Taekwondo. I love him.

If I was six, I'd probably say it like that.

But now, I'd say it like this. As far as brothers go, Shawn's the best one. When he was a baby, I held him all the time. I told him stories. Recently, I taught him how to pump on a swing and how to ride a bike. We laugh together and play legos together. We go swimming and pretend we're super heros. We climb trees and make believe we're orphans that ran away and we're collecting dragon fruit. He's twelve and his name is Tim. I'm six and my name's Jeremiah because it's fun to yell. When Tim's mad he yells Jeremiah the Bullfrog! Come here. Then we sing, Jeremiah was a bullfrog du du du... He was a good friend of mine du du du... and laugh.

I'll never forget these times but I will miss them. When I'm in high school, I'll remember while I'm doing my algebra test... when I'm in collage, I'll remember when I'm sleeping in my dorm and writing a long essay. I'll remember when I'm a mom and I'm writing a memoir. I'll remember when I'm on stage singing and playing music (what I love to do) and one day, if he practices hard enough, he'll be the drummer in my band and he'll be the best in the entire world.

Shawn, you can do anything when you put your mind to it!

Love Forever!

Sky :)
