11 going on 15... well not quite, but close

Our Little Audrey turned 11 this Week!

She loves to draw, be with friends, and sing her favorite music. We took this picture at the Western Washington State Fair, waiting to watch Selena Gomez perform. Audrey and hundreds of other screaming girls could hardly wait for it to start.

This is a "manga" drawing Audrey did of me. She spends much of her free time drawing people and flowers. She was born with this ability, because I could teach her nothing about drawing. I struggle with straight lines!

Last Saturday we had a family party, because Dan was going out of town. Monday was her birthday so she took treats to share with her class. I was a little sad they don't allow you to brings things made from home, but she loves those Loft House sugar cookies so she took those. Friday, she had 6 girls spend the night. (The men folk wisely vacated the property). She had a hard time just choosing 6! She had a great time and I have recovered from the head ache. After a week of celebrating we are ready to begin the fall festivities! Happy Birthday Audrey! We are so lucky you are apart of our family!
