I know you read my blog so I thought I’d leave you a little note here.
I’m glad you approved of my “It’s Hard to be Ten” post. I wouldn’t want to embarrass you but I thought it might be helpful for other mothers out there with ten year old girls.
Just the same, to balance the […]

Oh my goodness. It’s Victoria’s day to make my brain explode. She is not a happy camper today.
I suppose she had it coming. She’s spent her life being a very responsible, level-headed, easy child. It’s not like it could go on forever and it probably wouldn’t even be healthy if […]

We’re back from Victoria’s first annual camping party. It was such fun!
The trip didn’t go off without any hitches. My car died on the highway about 5 miles before we got to the park. Luckily we had taken two vehicles since we were bringing two little girls, so Daryl was able to come back and […]

I helped them make 15 medals (gold, silver and bronze for 5 sports). We cut […]

A few weeks ago, a woman who runs a Little House on the Prairie web site asked Victoria if she’d be willing to write up a guest blog entry about meeting the Greenbush Twins last month. Victoria jumped at the chance and finally got her entry written and emailed in yesterday. Here it is if […]

Tonight was the last performance of “Fragments of a Dream,” the outdoor play that Daryl and the girls are in based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s time here in nearby Walnut Grove.
The night went well and Daryl bought each girl a souvenier T-shirt, like every year, and they went around with Sharpie pens and had the […]

That was the headline in the Marshall Independent last week, talking about our girl!
WALNUT GROVE - A curious 10-year-old girl helped to fill the park at Walnut Grove on Saturday to hear twin sisters Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush talk about their days as the Carrie character on the TV series “Little House on the Prairie.” […]

The boys and I went to the pageant last night with Grandma and Grandpa. I got some pics backstage before the show…
And some of the girls acting silly…
Grandma, Grandpa and the boys in the audience…
And some of the scenes… The arrival in Walnut Grove, Getting used to living in a dugout, and Anna’s […]

Victoria and Daryl joined the Greenbush Twins’ (the girls who played Carrie on the Little House TV series) fan list online together last year when Victoria played Carrie in the local Wilder pageant. Victoria got chatting with them and sent them information about the pageant, and they contacted Walnut Grove and will be coming […]
