Leap Day!

Hello, blog friends!  First of all, let me thank you all for your advice on my last post (about my cousin Allie).  She's been feeling a lot better lately, and she says that she's pretty happy here even if she does miss her dad and her godmother.  My parents are going to let her go spend spring break in Germany with her godmother Frida and her dad is trying to arrange it so he'll be able to spend some time with her.  We're all hoping for the best!

Anyways, today is leap day, and although it's not really a holiday, it's a pretty cool day, I think.  So my parents gave me and Allie permission to each have a couple of friends over, but the whole thing got a bit out of hand.

The album where you can find out what happened is here.  Comments are always appreciated.  =)

Poor Allie

You all remember my cousin Allie? If not, I'll tell you about her briefly. Allie is a couple of years younger than me and she's from Germany. Her father (my mom's brother) is in the military and sadly her mom passed away a few years ago. I hadn't seen her since she was a baby when my parents suddenly announced she was coming to live with us and would need to share my bedroom. That was over a year ago, and I love having Allie here now. We're really different, but she's still a lot of fun. But lately, I've been really worried about her.

Around Hanukkah, Allie's dad came to visit. It was really wonderful... I'd never seen her as happy as she was when he was here. She and her daddy are really close. Our whole family did a lot of stuff together while he was here, but he had to leave too quickly. Allie has been really down since then. I mean, I understand that she misses her dad, but I still hate to see her so sad.

She's been talking about going back to Germany to stay with her godmother, Frida. She used to live with her, but she came here when Frida got too sickly to handle a kid. Frida is healthier now and would love to have Allie back, but we'd all hate to have her go. My parents say Allie has to make her own decision... I just don't know what she'll decide.

Any ideas how I can help her stop feeling so sad so she won't want to leave?

Pirates ahoy!

Ahoy mateys! Tis yer hearty Wendy! I've had a wonderful pirate filled day!

I went to a charity event at the high school with my sisters Bethany and Sarah and my cousin Allie. While we were there, we met up with my sisters' friend Dylan and his younger sister and her best friend. Dylan's sister is Lucy and her friend is Keisha from the blog Friends Win! We had so much fun together. They're both really nice girls and I really enjoyed hanging out with them.

Enjoy the rest of the pics from this lovely day! Talk to you soon!

First post from HOME in forever!

Hey everyone! It's me, Wendy, here with some pretty good news! Our house is now officially back online! It's been a LOOOOONG time, but now that I'm online again, I'll probably be updating so often you'll all get sick of me! :)

So my cousin Allie and her friends Amira and Brittany are opening their own blog together. Cool, huh? I'll let you all know the link whenever I know.

Until next time,
Wendy M. Stein

Allie's friends

Hello all! Wendy here! =)

I've got news. Remember my cousin Allie?

Well, this summer was sorta hard for her hanging out with me and my friends, because we're all older. But since school has started back she's become inseparable with Bre's new dolls - Amira and Brittany. They're in her class at school. I'm so happy for her! She's going to write more later and introduce you to her friends. I really like them. =)

Random Pic: Me and my friends

Today's random pic is of me and all my friends. We don't get to be together that often because some of us go to different schools and have crazy schedules, but I like when we can be together.

Random Pic: The beauty of Allie

Allie is so pretty. I love her hair and everything. That's why I decided to post a random pic every now and then, and I wanted Allie's to be first. =)

Cousin Allie

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while. Life has been weird.

For starters, my cousin Allie from Germany moved into our house. She's a Gotz Precious Day Jessica doll. Don't get me wrong... I love her, but it's been weird sharing my room. She 10 (I'm almost 12), she loves pink (I tolerate it), and she's really girly (I'm not). But it is cool... I mean, before her, I was the only blond in the family. And I always have someone to play with because my older sisters are mean and don't like to spend time with me. We usually have fun, and my friends all mostly like her, but Quinn gets tired of her pretty quickly... which is funny, since they're a lot alike...

And Nicki's in Colorado right now. She first moved here to help her sick grandma, but her gran's gotten much better and no longer needs help. She misses her family and her friends Becca and Kris a lot... so she's thinking of moving back. None of us here want her to go... would we be bad friends if we said so?
