R: Trinity

My best friend, Trinity, had a birthday on the 9th, but her birthday party is on Thursday.  She is literally one of the sweetest people I have ever met!  I can talk to her about anything, she is so understanding about everything.  She has the best smile and laugh of anyone I've ever met!  We met when we were in Narnia, which was only like 7 or 8 months ago.  We just started talking and got be good friends.  We were in a dance together, and we were in a lot of scenes together, which made some time to talk in between scenes.  We were also in The Wonderland Wizard of Oz together, a production put together in one day.  About a week or so before The Wonderland Wizard of Oz, Trin and her family took me along with them on their family vacation to New Mexico to ski and snowboard.  We have so much fun together!

R: Update

 Last September we welcomed into the world our 10th little sibling!  His name is SJ (Shane Jr. after my dad), and he is 8 months.  He just grew his first tooth, he is crawling, and he loves to laugh!  Also last Halloween Ammie (Annemarie) turned 2!  She loves being a big sis, and she smothers him with her love. :)  Tate, Jojo, and I all had birthdays in January, Mom and Dad had birthdays in March, and Emma will be 18 in May!

I am excited to say that I've started a photography blog called Hardwood Photography !

In November we were in a live production of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe with Phoenix Repertory Players.  Abbie was Mrs. Beaver, Jack was Peter, Lib was the Unicorn/a visitor, I was the Beech Dryad, Ethan was a Dwarf/a statue, and Tate was a visitor.
The show was so much!  We made many new relationships, one of whom is my closest friend.

The whole cast, plus our director, our choreographer, and our assistant director.

Recently, Jackson and Abbie have gotten more serious about both of their music.  Abbie EP came out early last year, and Jackson's EP will be coming out later this year.  They've play at Roots Coffeehouse in North Richland Hills, Opening Bell Coffee in Dallas, MusicFest in Waxahachie, Classic Cup Café in Lancaster, Lighthouse Coffee in Midlothian, and Overflow Student Ministries in Mesquite.

Ab and Jack both started a band called Little Image, their music is amazing by themselves, but INCREDIBLE when it's all of them together with some drums, keys, and a bass.

Well that's about all....
Bye! :)
