Emilia is 15!

This lovely and talented girl is 15!  One more year til she gets her driver's license.  That is scary for sure!  She can actually get her permit after she takes the written test. I'm leaving that up to her. When she wants to do it she can get it scheduled and do it.  I'm not pushing the matter!
Emilia has had a great year.  She started Success Academy and is a Freshman.  Success Academy is a difficult high school program that gives kids the opportunity to take college classes concurrently with high school classes.  This year she took the ACT and was accepted to college.  Next year she will start her college classes.  When she graduates from high school she will also have an associate's degree.  I am hoping we will both graduate at the same time.

Emilia loves to draw and has really grown as an artist. She can look at a picture and draw it.  She has also somehow gained an appreciation for languages, especially European languages and is taking German at school.  She is fascinated by Sweden and Finland and is super excited about going to Ephraim in May for the Scandinavian Festival.  And as always, this girl loves birds and can recognize almost anything by it's call or how it looks.  She's an awesome girl and we love her so much.

I am noticing that Ian is pretty much always in everyone's birthday pictures. He wants to be where the action is for sure.

These girls don't look excited do they?  They are doing what they call "fan girling".
