"Emily, would you please come over here and help set up the table!" Maryellen shouts at Emily, her younger sister. Maryellen waits for a reply while she carefully fills each cup with ice-cold lemonade.

"Ugh" Emily groans. She turns her head toward the table. "Looks like it is already done!" "Come anyway and see how it looks then" Maryellen responded.

"Okay, I'm coming" Emily started walking toward the table of goodies.

"Wow Maryellen! This looks wonderful!" Emily complimented. "Thanks Emily! Now, I wonder who will be arriving first?" Maryellen pondered.

"Well, it looks like...Cecile!" Emily exclaimed. "Yay, someone has arrived!" Maryellen quickly announced.

"Hey guys! What's up?" Cecile greeted.

"How have you been?" Emily asked Cecile. "Good! I can't believe we haven't seen each other since the end of school!" Cecile replied. "Same! I know right! It's been awhile." Emily led Cecile over to the table.

As soon as Cecile got situated, the three girls looked over to see another guest was heading over. "Grace is here guys" Cecile exclaimed.

Maryellen rushed over to Grace. "Grace!" Maryellen squealed. "Hey Maryellen" Grace replied. The two girls hugged each other.

Not long after Grace arrived, Sophie and her little brother Jack came. "Hi everyone!" Jack giggled. "Awww!" Maryellen, Emily, Cecile, and Grace just adored Sophie's little brother. "Now that everyone is here, let's go eat." Emily suggested.

Everyone gathered around the table. "Mmmm! I can tell this pizza is from Dolly Diner." Sophie said as she licked her lips. "Can we make s'mores now?" Jack nagged. "Yep! The supplies are over here." Emily replied.

As Sophie helped Jack with roasting his marshmallows, the other girls gathered around to watch him. "He's adorable!" Grace giggled.

"Sophie, are my marshmallows done?" Jack asked while examining his stick. "Yes dear. Let's go ahead and make your s'more and let others roast some mallows." Sophie replied sweetly. She led Jack to the table and helped him put his s'more together.

"Guys, I need a group photo before anyone leaves!" Maryellen commanded. Maryellen set up her camera on timer and quickly jumped into the photo.

The end!

Emma's Reaction to Her New Prosthetic Doll + I'm Back!

Hello everyone!

How have you all been?

Yes, I've been gone a long time. My schedule got very busy and tight, so I didn't find much time to blog.

No worries though! I am back!

Anyway, I have something amazing to share with you all!

Emma, a young girl from Cypress, Texas, is given a new doll. Emma has a prosthetic leg. Her parents called A Step Ahead Prosthetics and arranged to have Emma's doll be fit with her own prosthetic leg. The video of Emma unboxing the new doll has gone viral.

A Step Ahead Prosthetics even sent a backstory for the doll. “After she arrived, she was given a room to stay in while her new leg was made. She was fitted with the leg in her favorite color, pink, and started walking right away. After a few weeks of training to walk and run in her new prosthetic, she is ready to go home and live her life without limitation with you.”

As you saw in the video, Emma cries with joy and shouts right away "she has a leg like me!".

{Via A Step Ahead Prosthetics}

This is not the first time A Step Ahead Prosthetics has made a prosthetic doll. The company made one for a patient about a year ago, and since then requests from all around the world have hastily increased.

Well, that is all for today!

What do you think about Emma's reaction to her new prosthetic doll? What do you think about prosthetic dolls?

Thanks for reading!

April Showers Bring May Flowers- A Photoshoot!

Hello!

It has been quite rainy here.

I decided to take Michaela, Delanie's doll she got for Christmas, out for a photoshoot in the rain with a rain jacket because 1). I haven't taken any photos of her yet and 2). I wanted to try a bit different style of a photoshoot.

My mom got a new camera, a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS, and I have been using that for my recent photos. There is an awesome setting called 'Creative Shot' and it edits the photo you take and takes the photo in different angles! It is so cool! I used this setting for some of my photos I took. I didn't edit any of the photos, only the camera did the work!

Well, I hope you enjoy the photos!
