By Alanna George, on June 24th, 2008 Wow, it has been about 2 weeks since I posted last. How can so much happen in such little time. It was like summer bit me by the toe and dragged me under… We have been so busy lately. My sister called me the other day and said she didn't want to bug me, . . . → Read More: Day 27: Band Concert
By Alanna George, on June 8th, 2008 Today we did it! We made the drive to Ann Arbor to view the fairy doors. My sister Amanda came to my house in the morning and rode with me.

By Alanna George, on June 8th, 2008 Today after Lorelei's nap I told her that we would visit the fairies the next day. (If you want to know more visit the Urban Fairies of Ann Arbor website.)

By Alanna George, on June 3rd, 2008 This is no joke. This is our backyard, really it is.

Imagine being 3 years old or 1.5 years old . . . → Read More: Day 24: George Playground Miracle
By Alanna George, on June 3rd, 2008 This morning I got everything out to do the T-shirt painting.

By Alanna George, on June 3rd, 2008 Today was supposed to be Story Time and Crafts day, but Lorelei wanted to paint these plastic diaper wipe boxes that she uses for her treasures.

By Alanna George, on June 3rd, 2008 Sad to say this is the first time we have used our fire pit.

By Alanna George, on June 3rd, 2008 Day 20 is supposed to be to play tag, but we were traveling up to Pentwater to stay at Grandma Edith and Papa's cottage.

By Alanna George, on June 3rd, 2008 I haven't been able to write about our 50 days in awhile. So I will have to do an abbreviated version. So much has happened in the past couple weeks…
