October 9

Abby spent much of the weekend that didn't involve the pumpkin patch working on her first big quarter-long project for Language Arts.

She wrote and painstakingly illustrated a children's version of "Little Women." There were a number of options given, but I wasn't even remotely surprised by her choice: she enjoys spending time with kids, can hardly wait until she's old enough to baby-sit, and still says she wants to teach preschool when she grows up.

I'm genuinely impressed with what she put together. It's really a huge blessing and an honor to be able to watch her --and influence her-- as she continues to grow and think and mature. And as someone who used to create and illustrate books for fun when I was her age, seeing her do the same gives me an awesome kick of nostalgia.
