Rebecca, that is a great blog! What a sad experience to have lost the sugar on your bike ride. We don’t remember that happening at all. How old were you when you got dumped in the snow? It must have been six too!

I'm trying again here to post a comment.. we'll see if I can dicipher the pine trees and pagodas on my screen. Emma Grace is six, and We are Six. It really is a very good number, I think. I am so happy to share it with such a lovely girl! The Liklaks love you, Gracie!

She does look like you. And she also looks like Bill. And she is my favorite six-year-old girl. In fact, at this moment she is my favorite six-year-old anyone. I am being totally sincere. And this is a lovely entry. Your children are very fortunate to have such a mother!

Six really is a big year. The face shape changes ever so slightly. you get a little lanky. You really are BIG at six. And it is like you know that fact before you get there and that is why you can hardly stand the wait from five to six. Then it comes, and there you are. Six. Snaggle-toothed, getting lanky, BIG, and six. I got a Barbee when I was six…the original one. My hair was cut like Emma Grace’s, and i had figured out how to drum my fingers on the table. We had strawberry shortcake even though it was the end of December..my grandmother always froze strawberries from her garden just for my birthday. Thank you for reminding me.Rita
