Writings by Ashleigh
Ashleigh has done a great job with writings in school. She's won awards from the American Legion and from the DARE program for essays she's completed. I really liked the one page "Living In America" essay she wrote in fourth grade, so I thought I'd share.
Living In America
I'm proud to be an American because we have freedom, we have good schools, and we have great people that live here. Also, we have nice homes everywhere, and we get to choose what we want to be when we grow up.
Some other countries have no freedom at all. In other places in the world they have school in one classroom for about three grades! Some even have school outside! Everybody is special in their own way. Everybody is nice. The homes here are nice they have: stucco, stone, brick, siding, and wood. When we get a job we get to choose what job you want. When I grow up I want to be a nurse.
America is a great place to live. These things I have listed are only five reasons why I am proud to be an American. There are so many more reasons.
This year Ashleigh wrote a cute recipe for a Fantastic Holiday Season:

I'm Just Getting Started
OK, I'm a total novice at this. I hope to quickly get better. I have some great pictures I'd like to add in the not-so-distant future, but I'm having camera/software/computer issues. I'm not having luck with uploading my current pics. I'm not totally satisfied with this layout, but I'll have to work on it.
Please be sure to read, "Letters by Justin".

Our House
This is mainly for my family. They live so far away and they never get to see where I live.
