The end.Once we had assembled sister's book, this little one came to me, scribbles in hand:
"Buh??"Of course the stapler came out yet again, and Annabelle got her very own "buh" too.

Emma Joy, author/illustrator extraordinaire!
Before I (finally!) share with you my pictures and stories of our family trip down south for my brother Elijah's Air Force commissioning, I thought I would let Emma tell you all about it first. She was so sad and heartbroken when my family had to leave that Monday morning that I had to think of something to cheer her up. And that is how Emma came to write her first book.
The end.

Great story, Emma! And that picture of Annabelle is adorable!
Oh my gosh your girls are gorgeous. I love your book idea! LOVE it. I bet Emma loved coloring "theme" specific pages- that is an awesome idea!
Emma is such an artist! I love the details she put in her pictures. That is a really cute idea. I'm glad it helped her cheer up and keep busy. It's really hard having family so far away. Are you sending a copy to your family?

Wow! So cute! She makes people exactly the same way Juliet does... with just heads and limbs.. no neck or body. I love it!!!!! lol!!! I have to say thought, I'm very impressed with the stars and hearts! I don't think I knew how to draw a star until high school. haha.
