A New Arrival

The strangest thing happened this afternoon...

It was a regular day in the doll room. Sara and Emily were playing dolls,

Felicity was looking at a photo album,

Josefina was playing with her goat, Sombrita,

And Kirsten was looking for something that was currently unkown.

"Ugh!" She exclaimed. "I can't find it anywhere! Has anyone seen my Christmas outfit?"

"Oh, um..." Sara looked down at her own outfit.

"Never mind. Found it." Kirsten sighed.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Sara yelled to the mysterious guest.

"Boy, it sure is a lot hotter here than it is in Michigan!" An unfamiliar girl came into the doll room.

"Hi, guys. I'm Jessa."

Sara promptly fainted and fell off of the top bunk.

When she came to, she was a little foggy.
"I had the strangest dream," She commented, "that my old best friend Jessa came to see us."

"Um, it's actually true, Sara." Jessa said gently. "And I'm here to stay. Forever." Sara immediately tackled her in a giant, bonecrushing hug.

After being pulled up, Jessa laid a hand on Sara's shoulder. "I'll tell you all about what happened, but can I put on some cooler clothes on first? I could probably roast a potato in this sweater!"

After putting on a cooler outfit, and the other girls clearing out to give some privacy, Jessa explained what happened from the time that they were separated.

"Back when we were 6 and at the orphanage, you were put into a foster home and I was left behind. I was adopted by a couple who were a little older, and couldn't have children of their own. I really loved them," Jessa explained with a tear in her eye. "They died in a car accident last winter. They slipped on a patch of ice and slid into a river." Sara frowned in sympathy for her friend. "I've been searching for you ever since, and Lena was contacted by the adoption agency that I needed a home. I'm supposed to be your Christmas present."

Sara gave her a big hug. "Having my best friend with me forever is the best Christmas present ever."

So, I guess Jessa is here to stay!

Soccer Camp

Hi everyone!

My family and I have arrived in Florida, and I have started soccer camp!

Are you having a good summer?

Love, Emily

Moving

Hello everyone! I'm sorry to say that I will be moving this summer, so you won't be seeing much of me until I move into my new house. I'll miss you all!

Don't forget me!
Love, Emily

Happy Easter!

 

Love, Emily Rose

Sunny Day Park Visit

 

It was really sunny and warm today, so I invited Sara over and we decided to take my dog, Marshmallow, to the park.

 

Sara and I felt so grown up going to the park all by ourselves!

 

Marshmallow loves to fetch for sticks, so Sara and I threw a few. 

 

Look at her go! 

Then Sara and I got really warm, so we took off our sweatshirts. Phew, I'm so glad it isn't cold anymore! It's so boring if it's cold without snow. 

We also watched Marshmallow chase around other dogs. Silly fluffball!

How's the weather where you are? I'd love to hear all about it!

Love, Emily

 

 

Pancake Brunch

My parents and I were invited to a pancake brunch this morning, and my mom said I could wear my new shirt!

I had mine with milk ...

...  And plenty of syrup!

They were really delicious!

After I was done, I wanted to lick my plate from all the extra syrup, but my mom said no because it's bad manners.

What kinds of toppings do you like on your pancakes?

Love, Emily

New Clothes

My mom is a seamstress by profession, so she makes a lot of my clothes. She just made two new shirts for me. Come on, I'll show you!

 These are the two shirts she made me. I'm sort of her "lab rat", to test the patterns she likes and the ones she doesn't.

 This one is bright yellow with multicolored squares on it. It will go really well with my bright blue sweatshirt and sneakers.  I really like this fabric because it reminds me of the beach I'll be visiting for spring break in Florida!

This one is a lovely navy blue paisley print on a light blue background. It reminds me of colonial times, like Felicity might have a dress in this pattern!

I love getting new clothes! These new tops will be perfect to bring to Florida for spring break.

 

I can almost hear those sea breezes now... I can't wait to go to Florida!

What do you think of my new shirts?

Love, Emily

Welcome to my new blog!

Hello everyone!

My name is Emilia Rose Bennett, but you can call me Emily.

  I'm 11 years old, and I live with my mom, dad, and Collie dog, Marshmallow, in Europe.

My best friends are Kiki and Sara, and they go to my school, ISE (International School of Europe).

 I love having adventures and exploring outside.

I also love traveling, especially to new places that I have never been before!

This blog is all about my life, whether exciting or boring. Enjoy reading all about it!

Love, Emily

THANKS A MILLION!!!

Hi everyone! It's Sara!

I just want to say THANKS A MILLION to Leanna from "Loop-de-Loop: Life by Leanna" for recommending this blog to her readers! I also want to say THANKS A MILLION to the people who followed! It means a bunch to me and the girls, and especially to Lena. I know we don't post on this blog very much, but hey! It's meant to be about our travels, not our ordinary days, right?

Anyway, as I've said before, THANKS A MILLION!!!

Too long.....

HEY PEEPS!!!!!!!! It's the Saranator.... of course, considering I'm the only one that even wants to post on here. 

Just to let you know, Lena is doing something weird with us right now. I'm currently Emily's carpool buddy and there's talk of an older sister for me with the name of Bethany..... Who knows what's going on! All I know is that I'm wearing an awesome outfit, Josefina's leg is hanging on by a thread (literally! ICK!), and Felicity is having an inverted-eyelash problem (Lena isn't really sure about what to do about that problem).

With those updates out of the way, I would like to tell the whole cyberspace.... READ AND FOLLOW THIS BLOG OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lena is dying of despair because there are only 2 followers on our blog. :( It makes me mad. Do people hate me so much that they don't want to make LENA happy???? Lena is the bestest person in the world, everyone is OBLIGATED to want to make her happy!!! So please, FOLLOW!!! AND COMMENT!!!

Turtle tails,
Sara

Goodbye for now......

Sorry I didn't post in so long. I just wanted to let you know that I arrived back in Europe safely, and that my turn for the blog is OVER.

I had a pretty good time in the US and I got some cute new clothes, but I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to see CC's dolls as much as I wanted, but that's life.

Lena has a brilliant idea for a HUGE photostory, at least two parts. I'll probably have the lead role! We dolls are so excited!

Until next time,
Emily

I'm sorry.....

I apologize for not posting in a while. It's just that not much has been going on.

I did go to CC's house once, but I wasn't used much. Oh well, the world doesn't revolve around me.

I got to meet Rebecca, and she is sooo nice and sooo pretty. Lena is falling in love with her so much, though she wants Bethany more. Like that's going to happen.

Anyway, if something happens, I'll update!

'Till next time,
Emily

I advent done anything all trip except for being handled by Lena's little cousins. And that hurts. Hopefully I'll get to go to CCs house next time. Also Lena says she has a surprise for me, so well have to see what that is!

I'll try to update soon!

Em

I'm HOME!!!

Hi guys!

I'm officially home! We're in Indiana now! We arrived last night at about 10:15 because Lena's dad managed to get us on an earlier flight. Of course, I didn't know about anything because I've been in a bag the past few days.

So, happy Independance Day! I'll put on my red, white, and blue dress for the occasion, and we should be spending the day with Lena's grandparents! It should be fun.

I'm really tired though. Kirsten was really nice and let me borrow her quilt for the trip.

I'll update soon!

Love, Emily

St. Thomas

I'm alive and well and we have arrived in St. Thomas! My stay has been SOOOOO boring! I had to stay in the hotel room the whole trip because I couldn't go down to the beach or pool. Boo. 
I have some pictures of what I've been doing this whole trip in the room, but Lena told me that photos don't load well on Blogger with this laptop, so I'll try on Picasa. I know, I know, I've been promising pictures for a week, but I just have no choice. Sorry Charlies!

I'll try to be on soon!

Love, Emily

Hey!

Hi guys! I'm back!

I've got some pictures but I can't post them because I'm on an iPad.

I'll try to post them soon!

Love, Emily

I'm back to Blogger!

Hi, it's me, Emily, and I'm back to Blogger! This time it's just my blog for the summer, but I'll enjoy it while I can!

Check back soon for more of my adventures!

Love, Emily
