Watch-It Wednesday: The National Anthem

On Memorial Day, Gracie-girl had the honor and opportunity to sing the national anthem for a service in Amboy. She has not sung in public before (unless you count the 3-year-old singing "You're My Honey-Bun, Sugar Plum" at camp as "singing in public"), and has not had voice lessons of any sort. But she does have a sweet voice, and despite her nerves, did quite well! :)

Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Hard to believe this girlie is 12! She's just so...so...
- hilarious
- dramatic
- crazy (in the kindest, most loving sense of the word)


On the other hand, it's hard to believe she's only 12! She's so...so...
- good with taking care of kids
- creative
- crafty
- able to converse with any age on a variety of subjects
- fun to be around!


I love my li'l sis! This afternoon we fixed her hair and put on a leetle bit of makeup (shhh...don't tell dad! :) and did a photo shoot. I was really happy with how they turned out - 'course, it would be hard for them to turn out badly with such a great model, dontcha think?
