Bailey's day!


Bailey was all excited to come home from school on Thursday to tell me what happened to her. They had an author/illustrator come to their school. His name was C. Soenpiet. He is a well known author....obviously not that well know as I haven't ever heard of him....LOL....but anyway, she got chosen to be a model for him. He was showing the students of her school how he illustrates his books and gets models for him to sketch. So she was chosen and she had to pose for him to sketch her. He then gave her the sketch, which he signed, and now she has proudly displayed at our house. Personally, I can't figure the sketch out, but Bailey has it all figured out. It looks like a modern art drawing to me. Bailey even says he made her look like a "dude". She was so cute as she described the whole thing to me. The librarian at her school sent me these pictures of her when she was "modeling".
We have had a pretty uneventful week. Just the typical running around, work, etc. Sarah did get some good news this week as well. She has been nominated for the JSU (Jacksonville State University in Alabama)Honor Band. She also was asked by her band director to play with the high schoolers at their Music Festival. She was sooooo excited. Her festival is in March and the JSU Honor Band thing is in May, so she will have lots of practices after school coming up.
I guess that is all for now. Hope you all have a great week.
