September 1st dear diary we spent today working on getting ready for me to celebrate my 14th birthday. We started planning the party with Susie and her mom we decided to have a quilting party as we have decided that we need to start getting items we can store in something our moms call a hope chest. The quilts will be stored until we are old enough to move out on our own. We will also start gathering other items to put in them as well so we will be ready to be on our own. We are holding the event at dads grandparents farm house as she has lots of good things we may use.

We had our 2 year follow up on our Boston braces we should be out next year and Kimi got out of hers today. We went shopping for material and a few other special items on our list before meeting everyone else for a late lunch. I then went with mom to Joey and Jimmy's checkup and grocery shopping. The reason the boys are going blind is due to how early they were born they have something called retinopathy of prematurity. We then met dad and the others at his aunts as his nieces are leaving to be with there mom and dad as they are doing better. When we finally go home we were exhausted and I need to go as mom needs my help.

September 2nd today Zack and I started writing a chapter book for kids Elsie's age and up this is a big project. We worked on party plans and other activities as well when work was done mom took Susie and I shopping for our hope chests. I picked one in a very light maple while Susie picked one in a dark cherry. Her mom then treated the 2 of us to sushi before we were allowed to get a few kitchen items for our chests. We are excited as these make us feel grownup an important. Zack started his in April for his birthday all our friends minus JiYeon and Dill have started there's as well. We will have the stuff in them for a very very long time as its all important. We are all exhausted again and Rose is crying I think she may have an earache as shes been quiet all day and that's how she shows she doesn't feel good. Mom asked me to help out and try and get rose settled so I will tty tomorrow.

We all are not feeling well at all and when we got home mom asked dad to go pick up Madeline and Ian as they are sick and need checked out they both have strep throat no fun they are sleeping in the family room on the sofa beds. We are so sick I will write when we feel a lot better.

September 7th dear diary we are all feeling a lot better and Susie and I had our party this evening it was so much fun and we all really enjoyed it. We both got a lot of neat gifts including hope chest items the quilt tops and more. For my big gift I was given a new wardrobe as I have grown 3 inches this fall and my pants and skirts are all way to short. Susie and her mom are taking us shopping next week when we are in New York seeing a Broadway show as her big gift. We all had dinner at a fancy French cafe before mom reminded me that I needed to pack real quick we are all going to an old fashioned pioneer sight for a couple days.
