Here is something Marie did in about third grade. She is the linguistic and artistic prodigy of the family.
Here is something that I drew circa 1990. My pictures were always of happy people and rainbows. The things that look like polka-dotted rocks are either dogs or spotted kittens. That very well-drawn bird is the work of my sister, who always had better fine motor skills than me.
Lucy was the most rambunctious of us, as shown in her preschool report card. Under "Response to discipline," her teacher wrote, "Lucy can ignore us for long periods of time."

I made a mistake in that owl picture. The owl's eyes wouldn't be looking to the side, instead its head should be turned.
My favorite part of that paper is the parenthetical clause. I was very self conscious any time I had to use the word "pray" or "God" or "church," but I tried to have a sense of humor about it. Still do.
I AM DYING, this is so funny. You have been the same people for all of your lives.
Rachael, you should put up some of your drawings! I don't remember what yours looked like... I remember Sarah always drew horses, though. She went through that 9-year-old equestrian phase.
Oh and BTW, there were also a couple of letters to Santa Claus from us girls and some Christmas wish lists. Marie, you were such a bossy little biatch to Santa. You itemized how many of each present you wanted, exactly which Dinotopia books you already had and which ones you wanted the most, and your letter left for Santa one year said, "Santa, The stockings are on the desk. -Marie." You were like, seven years old.
This is the 3rd time I've come back to look! The pieces you've chosen are such perfect portraits of each of you.
Those were awesome!!
