Today is Alison's 7th birthday -- the second birthday she's celebrated abroad! She woke up to balloons and calls to Europe to talk to Nana & Pop Pop. Alison used to be really small, seven years is a long time to be growing. Don't believe me? Here she is on each of her birthdays:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/megaknits/3929278093/" title="Seven Years of Alison! by princess_bleck, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/3929278093_11b9cd1ba4.jpg" width="251" height="500" alt="Seven Years of Alison!" /></a><br /><br />Happy Birthday Alison!<br /><br />¡Felíz Cumpleaños Alison!m.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03213897186610781104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005561205920828804.post-55943807722932179662009-09-12T13:03:00.000-07:002009-09-12T13:06:04.011-07:00A great, new friend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/3912551175_19b2649967.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 334px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2532/3912551175_19b2649967.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This is me with my friend Huguette.

We painted rooms in a church with brushes and rollers, but I only got to use the roller a little bit. My mommy wouldn't let me.<br /><br />On Sunday I got to go to children's church in one of the rooms we had painted.

It's a big jewelry store with five floors. We looked at earrings for Emily. We bought some and she cried a lot when Mommy and Daddy changed her earrings. <br /><br /><a title="IMG_4956 by princess_bleck, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/megaknits/2903748090/"><img height="500" alt="IMG_4956" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/2903748090_1c4fae39ae.jpg" width="375" /></a><br /><br />This is me and the garden at the Soculo in downtown Mexico City.

We went to the park and jumped on trampolines, I threw up in the van, we went to McDonald's, we watched some movies and got to eat pizza. Mommy got back last night and Daddy comes back on Saturday night with everyone else. I miss him.m.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03213897186610781104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005561205920828804.post-50488714685572463272008-10-02T15:30:00.000-07:002008-10-02T15:32:05.850-07:00Tezpotlan<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/megaknits/2905980670/" title="IMG_4991 by princess_bleck, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3272/2905980670_19195af395.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="IMG_4991" /></a><br /><br />I saw a pyramid on top of a giant mountain.

It was a Littlest Pet Shop party and I got a lot of LPS gifts!<br /><br />I got two VIP pets who I named Lo and Runy. Lo is a turtle. Runy is a dog. (ETA by Mommy: Runy is pronounced Runny, but this is how Ali spells it.)<br /><br />My daddy and mommy got me an ipod!! I love listening to it and it will be good on the plane to Mexico.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidK21axRQuG8bMJ22WzJWn9zXqOM5pQ1f03ntv3HqmKgveBT5gGq84X9hJkSiGGXh8ZmqUllNOEXaZ9bzAF1ORnzUNRJIglgDIjrIdp8IgRt7nqIXUW-Bk_MGsva63-mU-_mHcLujgeNSc/s1600-h/2838518518_341bb0bbeb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidK21axRQuG8bMJ22WzJWn9zXqOM5pQ1f03ntv3HqmKgveBT5gGq84X9hJkSiGGXh8ZmqUllNOEXaZ9bzAF1ORnzUNRJIglgDIjrIdp8IgRt7nqIXUW-Bk_MGsva63-mU-_mHcLujgeNSc/s320/2838518518_341bb0bbeb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243990832627402530" border="0" /></a><br />Three more days of school!m.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03213897186610781104noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005561205920828804.post-68157557706115737722008-09-05T14:26:00.001-07:002008-09-05T14:28:38.416-07:00One weekI am leaving for Mexico in one week. I still want to spend time with my friends, but I'm a little excited. <br /><br />Tomorrow I'm having a birthday party, but my real birthday will be while we are in Mexico. It will be September 17.
