Auntie Em

Well, I'm officially an aunt now. My niece was born on September 20th at around 4:30 sometime. She was 6 lbs. 14 oz. and about 19 inches long. Her name is Avalyn Raye Turner. Pretty cool! Here are some pics of when we went to visit her and the parents in the morning. She seems to love people taking pictures of her.

Poor Mom. She had to have her naturally, 16 minutes after they got to the hospital.


Here's Dad and daughter!

School-what could be worse than that?

Around the same time that Fudepwee started school, I did too. Ugh. How gross. On A-days I have two of my three least favorite classes. They are Spanish and Geometry. Before that I have Biology and Art II. Those classes are ok. On B-days I have my other least favorite class. Geography. *sarchasm* How fun is that? *sarchasm* Then I have seminary, PE, then finally Honors English. I know what you're all thinking, "How could you ever get into an Honors class Em?" Well, it's not actually that hard. You just have to get the teacher to sign a small slip of paper (an "application"). And you also have to have good grades. But that is not all that hard. Anyone can do it if they try. Anyway, today we went on a hike up Battle Creek. My PE teacher, Ms. Avilla, said it would be and easy hike, flat, about three miles round trip. It turned out to be steep uphill on the way up, steep downhill on the way back, and about three miles each way. Hmm...
I wonder what her "steep uphill" is. Probably like, vertical or something. Well, at least it was a pretty hike. There was a really high waterfall we got to go past. At the little calm spot at the bottom we messed around in the water. I knelt down in the water and I couldn't feel my legs for a while. Icy water and all that, you know. When I got out, I still couldn't feel my legs, but I could feel every sharp rock under my bare feet. *sarchasm*Nice*sarchasm*. I forgot to bring my camera to the hike, though, unfortunately. So I have no pictures. Bye!
