Please Remember Us When You're Famous, Kate!

Saturday afternoon, May 7th, we attended an awards ceremony for the PBS Kids Writing/Illustrating Contest for Idaho.  Our little 9-yr-old Kate won 2nd for the 3rd Grade Division. The rules were simply that she had to write a book and illustrate it. I believe her book was about a snail. It was so darling  and she read it so well that I was more captivated watching her than paying attention to the words and pictures. The amazing thing to Greg and me was that she told her Mom she wanted to illustrate it by turning it into a pop-up picture book. NO ONE ELSE that I know of attempted such a thing. Thank goodness for the internet.  She watched the tutorial on-line and then went to work. We just loved it and love these pictures of her very PROUD moment! What a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We are so proud of her! Perhaps she'll grow up to write or illustrate children's books! Love you, Katie Bug!
