Gerber Baby Material?

Lots of people have told us Nora looks like the Gerber baby and we have even been approached at the mall to see if we had considered a modeling career for her.  All of that’s nice to hear, but we’ve never seriously thought about submitting her photo for anything.Until now.

Apparently, Gerber is looking for a new cover baby.  And the winning child gets a $25,000 college scholarship – which was enough for Chris and me to submit her photo.  The thing is, both of us have a lot of student loans.  We are paying so much each month that we could be making several car payments with the money…or paying for a house.  It’s definitely very frustrating, and it’s something that we don’t want Nora to have to experience if we can help it.  And so, I’ve decided that it’s not a creepy stage-parent thing if I’ve only done it one time and only because a college scholarship would be a very good thing.  Right?

That’s what I’m telling myself.

Anyway, for her to win, we need your help. The winning child is the one who gets the most votes.  Starting today, December 3rd, and until December 31st, we need people to go to http://www.gerber.com/photo/#/vote and vote for Nora.  You can find her on the site by searching with her first name and city or with her entry ID, which is 214714.  You can vote one time per day per email address.

Please help Nora win a college scholarship!  Go vote for her every day and tell everyone you know to vote for her (an easy way to do that is to use the button below to share this post on Facebook).

And don’t judge me too much for this…

Thank you!!!
Amber

      Thanks, Laura! I really love that photo, too. I think it shows off her big Powell ears nicely. 🙂

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
