Red Thread...

There is an ancient Chinese belief which states that there is an invisible red thread that connects each of us to all of the individuals who have been, currently are, and will in the future be important to us in our lives.

This red thread can stretch, twist, and bend… but will never break.

Out Shopping

 When Katie went out shopping with Maria's family, Maria and Katie quickly found what they wanted.

Who doesn't like chocolate?

Already?!

How is Katie old enough for her driver's permit? She worked hard this past winter to go to driving classes, put in 50 hours of driving time, and pass all the tests she needed to pass in order to get her driver's license. Now she just has to wait for her birthday.

It made me happy to have two friends in my class. 

Another Sleepover

 Katie loves having sleepovers with her friends!

I always have fun with Maria.

Our Squirrel Friend

We have a squirrel who lives in the tree right outside our front door. When it sees the cats in the window, it likes to sit on the fence and just stare at them and taunt them. It provides the entertainment for the cats that they need.

We think our squirrel is pretty friendly, but the cats would like to eat it.

Zoo Lights

 I forgot to post Katie's pictures of her trip to Zoo Lights.







Going to a Movie

Katie was very excited to go to a movie with her friend. They had both been waiting for it to come out, so they decided to go together.

It's always more fun to go to a movie with a good friend.

Spending Quality Time with a Good Friend

When Katie went to high school, half of her friends went to her school while the other half went to another high school. She takes time to make sure she is still in contact with the friends who are no longer at her school.

We like to go to Starbucks and catch up, and...

...go on a walk, no matter what the weather is!
