May Amy #12: To OK and back

Dear Amy at 11, It’s a weird year. Grade six starts off by us declaring that we will run in the race for Grade Six Student Council as Secretary… and that is just odd. Our campaign posters consist of our name, the position, and a comic cut out from various newspapers. We just want toContinueContinue reading “May Amy #12: To OK and back”

May Amy #11: Getting there

Dear Amy at 10, My letters are getting a little later and later, but the content still means the same. It’s going to be a somewhat boring year for us… at least compared to last year. This year we get the back half of grade five and the earlier portion of grade six. Good news isContinueContinue reading “May Amy #11: Getting there”

May Amy #10: Welcome to Alberta

Dear Amy at 9, We’ve been in Alberta a handful of days before our birthday and they have been interesting.

May Amy #9: Libraries

We’re never much for quiet, but when we want it the library is thereContinueContinue reading “May Amy #9: Libraries”

May Amy #8: Bird Club

Dear Amy at 7, With the Bird Club in full swing it was bound to get some enemies… at least the type of enemies that a 7-year-old makes. At this age, everyone will tell you that the boys are picking on you or chasing you around because they like you. Always seemed a bit weirdContinueContinue reading “May Amy #8: Bird Club”

May Amy #7: Moving

Dear Amy at 6, Moving to us is almost second nature, but be prepared for another. In fact, you may have already moved again by the time you hit six – that’s at least four or five moves now. One thing that stays constant is the library. Regardless of where we move, now or later,ContinueContinue reading “May Amy #7: Moving”

May Amy #6: School time

Dear Amy at 5, It’s safe to say that we really started to develop our personality around this time. Sure, we had our spunk before, but when you put us in awkward situations all of our spark shines. It’s also safe to tell you that we do not like being put on the spot, butContinueContinue reading “May Amy #6: School time”
