Update on Real Girls

By Kerry -
I thought this was just great and asked Erin (cousin Peggy) if I could include it here. She's just that great a person and let me post it.

I was reading your blog and thought your postings about the princesses and the Dove campaign and all that was just great! So I just wanted to let you know that Thomas and Christopher made a donation to the Girl Scouts/Dove program Uniquely Me Self Esteem Program in honor of the girls for Christmas! I thought they might send you a notification about it but they don't. So they wanted me to let you know!! Oh yeah and I am so glad that I don't have girls! HAHA
So Merry Christmas and lots of love to Addison and Emerson!

Isn't that cool! Thanks, Erin. By the way, Thomas and Christopher are her two cutey boys that are a bit younger than Addison and Emme.

As a previous employee of the company that owns the Dove brand, I was actually in some of the meetings a few years ago that launched the idea of helping women & girls with their images.

The company was searching for a way to do more than just help the local girl scouts, etc. Don't actually remember who came up with the Dove
idea -- but am so glad it is taking off and having an impact on society,

Love to my special girls --

That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Pappy = Pee-Paw

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
