One early August morning I woke up with yet another sore throat it was the 8th time since January. Mommy took Elsie who was pulling on her ears and I to see Doctor Lucy. We both have a double ear infection and I have a throat infection yet again, she recommended we both see her friend doctor Ann who works on ears and throats. We saw her 2 weeks later she recommended we both have surgery to remove our tonsils and have ear tubes placed. We were not the only ones needing it done, Susie Kimi Chuckie Tommy Dill and JiYeon also needed theirs out as well.
Once we had all recovered our families surprised our whole group with a huge fall break surprise. We will be going to see several states and our nations capital we started this adventure by driving to my old home town. We were there to see my best Montana friend turn 5. we then went to Minnesota and over the state of Michigan before getting to Boston to see Angelica's family and meet baby Andrew. While she got to meet all our new siblings as well. We then headed up to Maine for a few days before Going to West Virginia, we were there to see my great grandma on my dads side turn 100. this was an amazing thing for all of us. And while we were there my Mommies cousin Ellen became our Nanny, she has what my mommy calls a special way of thinking, I think if I understand what it means is she is smart but sort of like a little kid.
We then headed home as school was starting again. We arrived home a few days later and Susie Chuckie Tommy Kimi Zack Sam Jake and I decided to try out for the kids theater winter production. It was going to be the wizard of oz. The first round of auditions was scheduled the week after we started at a local private school that met our needs well. We each received a copy of the script and a list of songs, we each needed to memorize several lines and prepare a song and dance routine. That evening Mommy and Zack's auntie took the 8 of us to the theater. We each had to say our name and who we were trying out for. I went up and said my name is Dianna and I would like to be the good witch. I then sang over the rainbow. I then waited for everyone else to finish their turns. After about 3 hours callbacks were announced, we all received call backs this meant we went back the next day and read and sang again. We found out 3 days later we all received parts.
And while I wasn't cast as the good witch I received the part of the Scarecrow, Zack was the tin Woodman, Chuckie the Lion, Jake the Wizard, Sam Dorthy, and Susie the good witch. Yes Sam got the role which is amazing and we all celebrated at my house that night. We had rehearsal nearly every night and all day most Saturday's as this was such a huge production the rest of the gang was helping backstage with the scenery props and costumes. We had a decent dress rehearsal even though I tripped over my own foot. The next night was the big one we all did an amazing job even if I managed to fall again.
A few weeks later our teacher announced a huge project with several parts, it was a research project dealing with family trees. The first stage was to have our parents tell us what they knew. My mommy said that on her side were several different things including German. On my Daddies side I am German and French. From what mommy has discovered we are related to a very famous woman named Eleanor Roosevelt, and by that line her husband and uncles both former presidents.
The next part was putting together a tree with all the names we had on it. We then wrote out several important family stories. I wrote about how my mommy met my daddy when they were only 2 years older then I am now. I also wrote about the move losing my daddy and several other things. We also had to interview a family member who we thought was important with help from mommy we interviewed my great grandma who as I mentioned earlier is 100. a very special thing occurred 2 weeks ago my great uncle Joe contacted grandma for the 1st time in 60 years. From how I understand it his wife was a meanie who didn't want him in communication with his family. She died a few weeks ago and he decided to contact grandma and her siblings. I will meet him in just a month's time on grandmas 70th birthday. He is 78 nearly 79 so 9 years older then she is. This is a very important and special thing that has happened my mom has only seen him once when she was a few years older than I am now.
Next time Dianna gets her first pet breaks a bone meets her uncle loses her great grandma and so much more
