Favor, Please!
In our Writer's Workshop, we are supposed to be collecting entries and writing about life experiences to model for our kids. While I know that I have TONS of memories, I am drawing a blank when it is time to write. Therefore, I am trying to compile a list of memories to "cheat" from when my brain farts. Basically, I am asking for a few memories that you have of you and me together. They can be light hearted or serious, major or everyday moments. Both are needed. You can either post them here or email them to me. I think all of you have my email address or myspace address. I am listing (yet again) some things I have already collected so there are not any duplicates.

Ha...I'm the first to reply to this blog!!
Memories:
- the first time I held you,
- spending time with you in the hospital before you came home,
- the first thing you did when you came home,
- the first night you slept all the way through,
- the first time I saw you march on the field with the band;
- the time you "met" Santa Claus,
- the first time driving,
- and so on and so on and so on...
ah, your dad is so amazing to be reminded of all your firsts and your first with him!!
~ many girl times: painting pottery Chili's at the quarry before the guys came, satc marathon at lin's, zilker park
~ christmas party sleep over at k-lub's
~ sunday dinners (good food, good fun, noodles everywhere!!!)
~ our race in the theatre before madagascar
~ our interpertation of madgascar at my house, making a mess with the water spewing from our mouths
~ all the trips to wal-mart (and the last before y'all moved...with the woopie cushin!)
I know there are many more...but that's all for now!
You have an amazing list of topics there, girl. Your whole life has been worth writing about to me, and it's been hard to select specific ones... I would add the day Smudge died and hearing about Grandma's war memories on the more serious side. Being on top of the Hutton's barn always sounded like fun, too! Can't wait to read more after you finish!
