Jane & Linda

 Jane is a very special girl. She is very confident and very goal oriented. She stresses about doing things just right and about whether or not things are fair. Her favorite thing to do at recess is to go to the library and help the librarian clean, sort, stamp, put away books. The librarian is very kind to her. Jane's teacher is really nice. She worries about Jane not playing at recess with the other kids so sometimes she'll find kids in the class to team up with Jane and tell Jane she has to play with them. :) Jane is very intelligent and an all around good student. She loves math and spelling. She isn't in to reading as much as the other kids but always works hard to achieve her AR goals and has almost qualified for the last pizza party of the year. She likes Geronimo Stilton books. She started ice skating classes and really loves it. She's good at it too. She also loves to roller blade. She adores Bruce and laughs at all of his jokes, even if they're not funny. She wants to play basketball this fall. She has a desire to play the piano. Hopefully we can get a piano for her one day. She really struggles with eating still. It's not uncommon for her to sit at the table for 2hrs. to finish a meal. She tries really hard, but she just doesn't like a lot of foods. She has a great love for animals. I took the girls to a play this month and she loved it the most and still talks about it. Jane is very obedient and good. She reminds me to not care of what others think and to just be myself. We're blessed to have her in our family. 

Linda is so busy this year at school with all of her presidential duties.(hosting talent show, student store, assemblies, etc.) She is a really good student, although her homework takes her a long time to finish because she's a daydreamer. She gets distracted easily. She has enjoyed playing the violin this year. She is ready for middle school in the fall and I feel good knowing that Bruce will be there if she needs a friend at lunch or someone to tell boys to back away from her. :) Linda dreams of becoming a babysitter or a nanny when she grows up. I already have ladies in the ward asking when she'll be ready to babysit. She loves little kids and likes teaching and leading. She is playing volleyball right now and enjoys it. She likes reading Emily Windsnap books, Whatever After, and is halfway through the first Harry Potter book. She loves going to Activity Days and enjoys singing, dancing, and sewing. Linda does not like to throw things away, she can always find a use for everything. If you need help with anything, Linda is the girl to call. She is a hard worker and likes to stay busy. She is a stickler for the rules. She has a kind heart. She is growing up so fast and becoming a beautiful young lady, inside and out.
