this is Ava. Her birthday was two days after this picture was taken and she told me she was going to learn how to skateboard.
this is Lily. I ran into her and her sisters once in the pet store and I overheard her go around the corner and say ”that’s miss jen, she is SO fun.”
this Zanaye. Zanaye would be the little one who dumped an entire box of glitter over her head, a week before christmas, with freshly braided hair. Right.
This is Destiny. She once told me that her mother asked her why she always comes home with glitter all over her on Fridays. This would be about the time I stopped all use of ”sparkles.”
This would be Omari. And this little boy is going to be trouble someday. He can get away with anything with that smile.
This is Lenin. He told me he was jewish and from new jersey and that is why he put star of davids on his binoculars we made.
This is Cassidy. She is probably one of the sweetest girls ever.
This is Farrelly. When I met her, she exclaimed, ”My Daddy is a fisherman! He catches fish!”
This is Elie. This was the first day we met, so we don’t have much homey stories to share.
