my letter to my class in Nebraska

Today I dictated (told my mom what to write) a letter on the computer to send to my class at Hill School. I also wrote a letter in the car last week, and one to my friend Danny from church. I have lots of friends to write to!

Today was my first day of school in North Carolina.
Our school starts at 7:15 here!!! It was still dark out when we woke up and when we went to school the sun was just coming up a little bit! It looked pretty through all the trees.

Here is a picture of me and my new teacher:

And here is a picture of us on the teeter totters at JAARS. JAARS is the place where our apartment is that we are staying in.

Ever eat chicken feet?!?

I went to the grocery store in Lancaster, South Carolina with my mom and we found this package in the meat section!

Mom said she's never heard of selling "chicken paws" for money in a store! (that's what the package said: chicken paws) I think it sounds gross!

Driving to Our New Home

This picture below is me in the car. Dad drove the van (we called everyone in the van the Blue Jays because our van is blue) and he pulled a trailer with all of our stuff in it. Mom drove the car (we called everyone in the car the Black Cats because our car is black). I loved talking on the walkie talkies!

We drove through lots of states and cities. This picture below if from a big city that we drove through in Missouri. Can you guess what city it is?

This last picture is from Kentucky. We stopped here to rest. The place we stopped is where Colonel Sanders (the Kentucky Fried Chicken man) was born and they have a museum here about him, but we did not go to the museum. We were just passing through!

My Solo from Monday, Feb. 25, 2008

This was my part in the song at our First Grade School Program:

Christmas Eve by Will

Last Christmas Eve, we went to Grammy's house (I think). This year we are going to do the same thing, after church tonight, and we are going to open presents. I made this scrapbook page with Mom.

The gloves in this picture are from last year, and I still have them!

We are going sledding at Anna's house today and we are just about to leave!

I love Christmas because:
1. there is snow
2. I like to open presents
3. I like to give the presents
4. I like going to my Grandma's houses
5. I get to see my cousins and all my family
6. I'm thankful that Jesus was born
7. that's it.

Merry Christmas to all of my family and friends!
Love, Will

I MADE THIS

Housebound

I am housebound from school. I have to stay home for a lot of things, because I have pneumonia.

I hope I feel better by Friday because that is when we go to a Boys of Faith Camp Out for 2 days and I don't want to miss it!

I had chicken noodle soup for lunch today because in the morning my temperature was 100.4

I like that kind of soup, but when I ate a grape before it, I didn't like it as much as I usually do.

I wanted to go out to eat, but Mom said she would like to, but we ate out at Farmer Brown's after the wedding practice.
