My First Move

moving-tips.jpgIt is super hard to move away from a home that you grew up in. If you lived in one place for over seven years, you would probably be very attached to the house. The first time I ever moved was when I was ten years old.

At the beginning, when I was told our family was going to move, it seemed worse than it really was, because I was looking at the bad side of things. One time in the car, my mom told me that moving is like holding a half full glass of water. Half of the glass is empty standing for the bad things about moving. The part with water stands for the good things.

There is a saying “If life gives you sour lemons make lemonade out of them”. This means that instead of walking around sulking and crying instead make your life full of excitement. That way, the next time you move, you won’t be so scared.

 

A Not So White Winter

Our whole family loves winter. It is a season of fun. I like winter when it is snowing. I fly outside into a blanket of white. This winter [of 2016-2017] we did not have much snow except one pretty big blizzard. The blizzards’ snow was so deep and fluffy and so fun to play with that we stayed outside for a whole two hours! You could make snow houses, snow men, or slide down on hills. The rest of the days of this winter were much warmer. So the snow melted fast.

For a month, we rode the subway, peered at old monuments, and celebrated the 70th anniversary of Victory Day, the day when the Allies won World War II. Our family’s visit to Russia will always be memorable. Continue reading

When Tilly came to the theater, she followed Aunt Gina backstage. There, Gina gave her a costume to wear for the show. Aunt Gina danced beautifully.

Then she invited Tilly onstage to do a special birthday dance! Tilly felt so happy. After the show, she said, “I wish I could see it all over again.”
