Our Cute Essayist

Jessica's essay won her 2nd place in an essay contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. We attended an awards ceremony for her on Saturday and she did a marvelous job. The topic of the essay dealt with Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address and its relevance today. They had to dress in period clothing and read a portion of their essay. They were photographed and congratulated by some darling older southern women. It was great. Jeremiah's favorite part was the light refreshments! He took a plate full of broccoli and had all the older ladies telling him how great it was to see him eating healthy foods! I laughed because as soon as he downed the broccoli he filled his plate with brownies!! We left Jillian with our friends and she had a ball playing, although I think she would have done great watching Jessi. Thanks to Tina for doing Jess' hair!! I'm soooooo not talented with hair! She looked adorable and had a great day. Afterwards we took her to Logan's for lunch... her favorite! Congratulations Jessi!!
