Too Much!!

 There's just too much to blog about! I hate the feeling of being "behind" on journaling. So instead I'm going to post one thing every day of things I want to talk about until I feel like I'm done. Here is today's:

Breanna:

With the infamous kitty! This kitty found Grandma's house and provided hours of fun.

Breanna was sick.

She wanted to be alone a lot.

At one point during the reunion she literally flittered herself away so she didn't have to go down the slip n' slide waterslide, over a hill until she was out of my sight and I had to follow her. I wondered what her plan was. She danced merrily along, picking clover and singing to herself. The same thing happened on another hillside before dinner. This time all the kids had left and I went to get her but she didn't want to go. So we sat there in the sunshine and quiet, just us. Breanna made me cookies out of leaves and grass and clover. She even put them in her pretend oven.

What I know about Breanna:

She has quiet strength

She's not one for big crowds, but loves to be one on one or in small groups, just like her Mom.

I think I will learn a lot about myself by watching her. She did NOT want to wear this number shirt and had the biggest tantrum over it! A few days later when we got home I was putting it away and Breanna saw me. She asked "do you like that shirt?" I said "Do you?" She said "No. I don't like it." Very matter of fact.

My favourite was listening to her on the drive to Taber and back from Waterton. She is like her Dad in that she is a quick thinker, witty and funny. She likes to tease Jesse and it's hilarious to watch her get under his skin! But they both always end up laughing.

Breanna loves all her cousins, but after this weekend I have a special place in my heart for Heidi who was so sweet to Breanna. She gave her a walking stick on our hike to Crandell Lake, she helped her across the log over a stream, she would always try to comfort her. Heidi is number 43 (and this is not a good picture of her, but it's the one where Breanna is least miserable!). She is really just nice and thoughtful, how I want to be.
