Emmaly calls. She is busy drawing on her iPad. The program she has allows her to draw with her finger and color it in.
She shows us a few finished drawings of cats. They are truly amazing, especially considering she draws them freestyle.
She shows us the cat she is currently working on. It is just a raw sketch, but it looks great already. Opa suggests she draws some fruit.
It takes no longer than a few minutes before she shows us the apple she created. We are blown away.
Emmaly has inherited her great-grandmother’s artistic talent for sure!

We get a lot of spam calls. Sometimes between 10 to 15 a day. Opa has gotten in the habit of making fun of the person on the phone (if it’s not a computer).
Bella has witnessed a few of those calls and thought it was hilarious. This morning, Bella’s mom gets a spam call very early.

Emmaly shows us some more of her birthday gifts.
She got some new sunglasses.
And some sort of hand jewelry.
She tells us it is a Goth thing.
I am confused. I thought she was going steam punk for Halloween.
Maybe she goes Goth Punk?! 🤭

Bella’s troop is taking a long drive to a camp out to watch glow worms. It is the only place in North America where these glow worms can be seen. It’s really exciting.

Emmaly calls, as she faithfully does each Sunday. Her birthday is right around the corner. On Tuesday to be precise.
We sing to her, since we won’t be able to talk to her on her big day.
Emma is very happy.
She got three packages and she is about to open them.
One present is from aunt A., one from Emma’s mom, and one from us.
She is super excited with her gifts.
She loves to read, so we all send books from her wishlist.
Now, she completed one series she wanted. A little communication amongst the family went a long ways.
Yes, Emmaly had a great early birthday!

I finally get to talk to Leo. He has plenty to tell, but he is eager to share one thing in particular.
Leo:” I have an announcement to make.”
We are curious as to what that could be.
Leo:” I am not single anymore!”
He sends us pictures of his girlfriend.
She sure is a pretty thing with long blond hair and brown eyes.
He asked her last Friday during home coming dance if she wanted to be his girlfriend and she said yes.
We are happy for him, but that doesn’t compare by a long shot to Leo’s feelings.
He is over the moon!

Leo had his home coming dance last Friday. He sends us some pictures of it. He had a great time dancing, joking with his friends, and asking his date to become his girlfriend.
When she said yes, the evening got even better. The huge smile on Leo’s face says it all.
As far as Leo is concerned, the dance could have lasted forever!
