Yesterday, Eva had a day off from school. After she completed an assignment she gave herself (a meter showing the difference between her age and her brother's age), she went on to construct this elaborate house out of paper.

It has two rooms, a working door, a rug, and a wastebasket...and she didn't even get frustrated when it had trouble standing up--she just went and got out some popcicle sticks to help brace the sides. (I was a little shocked by this.)

I think it's safe to say this girl loves (and misses) school.

Thankful.

Recently some amazing people in our lives passed along a bedroom set they were no longer using...a whole set, right down to the mattress and boxspring! That meant that Ms. Eva was the recipient of a brand-new (to her) bookshelf headboard, which she spent over an hour arranging and rearranging until she was exactly satisfied with her book/toy/magazine/flashlight placement. Can you feel the excitement?:

This further meant that our (tiny! still just a baby! *sniffle*) Sully-man then recieved a brand-new (to him, formerly his sister's) big bed of his very own, which we decked out with brand-new (for real) Buzz LIghtyear sheets and a cozy dinosaur comforter (formerly his cousin's, thank you Auntie Alix). He was pleased:

(Paul and Faye: We are beyond thankful for your astounding generosity. Would you look at how happy you made our children?? Seriously. THANK YOU! Mwah!)
