Here’s a Lillian NewsFlash for everyone! Pappaw Frank knows everything! I can’t remember what we were talking about; but, I thought this was newsworthy. I sure do remember thinking this about my grandparents when I was Lillian’s age. At some point thinking they knew everything faded; but, I tell you what as you get older you realize just how wise they are and were!!

Time for another Lillian NewsFlash! As I was putting her sunscreen on this morning I noticed a small bug bite on her arm. It was just a small red bump; so, I thought it was maybe a mosquito bite. When I picked Lillian up from camp it had gotten much worse looking. I decided it had to be a spider bite. I got home; looked on the internet (WebMD) and at the same time called the doctor’s office. They had us come in and it is in fact a spider bite with a staph infection. All is okay – we have the antibiotics and the doctor circled the area so I could be sure to watch for it to recede.

So, what is Lillian’s NewsFlash. She was bitten by a crab; not a spider. If anyone happens to come across that crab; catch him for us so we can take a bite outta him right back!!

(I must add that I am so proud and humbled my Lillian and her bravery. She is just such the BRAVE little trooper – with the biggest most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen – even with a throbbing spider bite on her arm!)

Here’s a drawn NewsFlash from Lillian for this past Memorial Day weekend. It does rain here every once in a while; but, this carried on for days. So, Lillian decided to draw a picture to document this newsworthy event. The picture depicts the view of our backyard from inside the house – it’s pretty darn accurate!

Today at Lillian‘s school they had a fire drill. This got Lillian very worried and she absolutely did not like the loud noise (she does not like loud noises). Also, it has starting getting warm here and Lillian got a little overheated during recess. After both of these incidents Lillian typed in her Dynavox unit for the teachers that she had 13 headaches! I thought that qualified for a Lillian NewsFlash!

No worries, though, by the time I picked her up at the end of the school day; she said all of her headaches were gone!

Here’s Lillian’s latest NewsFlash. (She typed this one on the computer.) It says:

May 22, 2008. News: And grandma & grandpa. Is coming in may 22, 2008. And I have a spelling bee. Wow!

She spelled all 100 of the spelling words correctly and received a great medal she is so proud of that she wore it 2 days in a row.

Lillian’s grandparents from Washington are visiting next weekend and she is very excited. When she was very young we had to determine a way to differentiate between the grandparents. So, Joyce and Phil became known as fishing grandma and grandpa with the sign language for fish thrown in front of grandma and grandpa. Otherwise; we didn’t know which grandparents she was talking about!

Here’s another Lillian NewsFlash for everyone. Her and her little brother, Thomas, were not getting along Saturday morning at all. So, she had to write a little note about it . . .

It says, “I have a bad day”. Anyway, the day did get better because Mom took them to the library and a very FUN birthday party later that day at our local Jump Man Jump!

Okay, so Lillian and her little brother, Thomas, had some sort of stomach virus over the weekend and Lillian just had to write something about it. So, here’s her Newsflash:

Well, she doesn’t know this; but Mom was getting pretty darn “tried” of it, too! Boy, I’m glad we are done with that!
