What a wonderful family get-together! Fiorella's brother and his wife invited us over to their place for Thanksgiving and a premature celebration of brother's birthday, and, as Mother would have said, "a good time was had by all." Your girl, who grew up in Texas with no kin in sight, loves these get-togethers.
Three cheers for Fio! As soon as she came home from Brother's house, Fiorella started on her laundry and the shaping up her child-sized clothes closet so that when the carpenter shows, he'll be able to tell her what he can do to give her more room. In case he doesn't have any ideas, Fio, clever girl that she is, has written down all her needs and Scotch Taped it to the outside of the closet door.
Sometimes Fio isn't as smart as she thinks she is--she nearly lost the first chapter of Lolly's story yesterday because she started messing with it rather that working toward the end of the book. Repeat after me, Fiorella: I will only move forward with the story today, not look backwards--which can wait till after the lead characters have all had their happy ending
Hooray! Your girl walked across the street to return a pink balloon and get acquainted with the neighbors, who were outside with their kids. Baby steps, but Fio feels like she climbed a mountain. Maybe she'll make friends here after all.
In case you're wondering, Fiorella still hasn't gotten all her blogs printed out, but they're on the radar now. Moving is a laborious process.
