"Shadows in the Night" by MaryVance

(note from Mama: MaryVance is writing a story and I will be typing it for her here so you can all read along as she writes.)

Chapter 1: Surprise!!!

"Sara. Tara" mother called.
"Yes Mother?" the twins called.
"Tell Tim to come and you two come too"
"Yes ma'am" Sara said.
"Tim" Tara called.
"Yeah Tara" yelled Tim.
"Mother wants us downstairs."
"Okay" yelled Tim.

There were five siblings, Jeff 14, Tim 11, Tara and Sara 8 and Sally 3. And Mother was pregnant! They all went downstairs. "Oh" Mother said, "Tim, go get Sally and Jeff".

"Yes ma'am" Tim said.

"Jeff, Mother wants you" Tim said.
"Okay" Jeff said.
Sally was playing with her blocks in the playroom. "Sally" Tim said gently, "Mother wants you downstairs".
"Okay" Sally said in her babyish voice.
Tim held her hand and helped her down the stairs. "Now" Mother said "Now that everyone is here I want you all to know that we're going to have an ultrasound tomorrow."
"Woohoo" yelled Tim.
"Hooray" yelled Sally as she clapped her hands.
"That's terriffic" Jeff said.
"Yippee" yelled the twins.
"Now, now, quiet down" Mother said. "Now be sure to pack your water bottles and a few little snacks because it's a long drive to Little Rock." Little Rock was the capitol of Arkansas. "Okay now" Mother said, "I just washed your red polo shirts so you can wear that. We will leave right after breakfast."
"Me too?" Sally asked.
"Yes, Sally. You too" Mother answered.
"Can we bring our notebooks?" Sara asked.
"Yes you may Sara" Mother said. "Oh and we need to go to bed early tonight so we can get up early tomorrow."
"What should I do about my rabbit while we are gone?" Tim had a miniature black rabbit named Coal.
"He will be alright" Mother said.

List of 'Post to come'...

- Joseph's third birthday
- Visit at the H's family's house
- Nehemiah's Nine Month pictures


That's all I can think of right now... I'll come back and add to the list if I think of anymore! :-D



Woohoo! We're gonna have a cold snap!!

Well... kinda... The high for Sunday is only 88! And the low is 64!! Monday's high is 88, and the low is 66! Tuesday is my birthday (!!!!) the high is 89, and the low is 69... so the 'Cold Snap' won't last very long... but at least we will be out of the 90s for a couple days!! :-)

--sigh-- I just checked the weather again... and the high for Wednesday is 91...:-( well 91 isn't too bad... right?

I'm sure you can't tell from this post... but I really like the weather! Especially very cool (or you might say fairly 'cold'!) weather!! ;-)

Nehemiah's haircut... before and after...

Before,
Almost done,
And done! :-)
