Family Resemblence

My mom sent me this picture of herself at 16 months and I just had to share it along side a picture of Nora at the same age.I wish I had a smiley-er  (smilier?) profile of Nora, but alas it seems that most of my photos from a year ago are head on and/or very blurry.  Either way, I was amazed to see how much Nora looks like my mom.  I did see some of my family in her before, but not a lot of myself (I was a very rounded-head baby), and mostly Chris.  Seeing this picture reminded me that she did get more from me than just big ears.

I’m happy to report that the possible ear infection was a false alarm or a fluke or something.  I don’t really know what was going on the other night; the crying certainly was real, but the next morning Nora was back to her old self, not crying or complaining or pulling on her ear at all.  She said it was fine.  I, on the other hand, have the sniffles again.  I think I’m just going to get all illness for 2012 out of the way this month.  After this, I’m done, okay Universe?

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. 😂
