Kidd's Ring

...a long jeans skirt. And one of the Primary students says, "Miss Kidd, your jeans are too big!" :)

...how great it is to have a voice until you can't use it for several days on end! Funny how that works. We aren't thankful for things, until we experience what life is like without it! It was weird this week not being able to speak and trying to spare my voice. Whenever I would run to the store or anywhere where people are, I was always a bit scared that they would talk to me and I wouldn't be able to answer back! Thankfully, my voice is much better!! It's been a long healing process though! Today, I really felt like I had all my energy back. I was able to do the normal Leslie craziness of getting lots done on a Saturday :) I even road my bike downtown! :) It was a beautiful, sunny day. My face has that sun-kissed feeling...we'll see if it's pink tomorrow!

I love the winking faces that Felix and I have. This one says, "Dear Miss Kidd, I like you because you are nice. Happy Birthday. I love you!" The German sentence says, "On her day off, Miss Kidd sleeps comfortably i...

"Can she hear us?" "Will she not be able to talk for forever?" "Can you talk in sign language?" "Miss Kidd, don't talk, we want you to be able to say Yes, I do, when you get married!"

Saturdays are wonderful, especially when I have time to go the market and pick up fresh veggies and these beautiful gerber daisies! I also got some overdue cleaning done and feel wonderful about it all!

Thanks, Laura and Leanna! I love 'em!!!

if you wanna see what's inside come June 19th! :)
