The day after my book was released, our laptop crashed. We lost a lot of things, and our files are currently unable to open because we no longer have Word. Hopefully we'll be able to somehow copy and paste them using a free trial. I'm very thankful that it happened after my book was published, not before.
Yesterday, my sister came to visit. She lives out-of-state and we haven't seen her in ten-or-so months. It was a really nice visit.
Today is my parents' anniversary so they went out to dinner; we are staying home and watching Annie. Have you ever watched that movie? It's a classic in our family, and since my little sister looks just like Annie, we figured it's time to watch again.
Okay, well let's get to some introductions, shall we?
To begin, we'll start with Lester, the father. He is quiet at first glance, but is really friendly and nice once he gets to know you. He is a really good father and is serious yet playful.
Janet, the mother, is a plump, friendly, and outgoing lady. She has red hair, and red cheeks too. She laughs a lot and is always making sure needs are met.
Rachel, the oldest of the children, is eighteen. She has long brown hair, and is good with children, which is helpful being that she has seven younger siblings. She is quiet, yet tries to make people feel welcome. She likes sewing, cross-stitch and cooking.
Henry is next at sixteen. He has dirty blonde hair and is rather quiet too. He helps Lester with the farming and enjoys solitary activities like working with wood or animals.
Lissie, who's real name is Elizabeth, is fourteen. She has long black hair, and is very quiet. She has been bitter ever since she was twelve and something tragic had happened. While the rest of her family mourned and moved on, she has remained angry.

Becky, or Rebekah, is eleven. She has light brown hair and a lot of freckles. She's outgoing and friendly, yet she doesn't talk excessively. She has a way of making friends with anyone, no matter their age. It is her goal to make everyone feel welcome and loved.
Here is a picture I found on Pinterest; it looks exactly like her! (I don't own this picture.)
Charles, or Charlie, and Clarabelle, or Clara, are twins. They are six years old and both have light blonde hair and blue eyes. They are a little shy but very playful with those they trust. They get excited easily and have huge imaginations.
Here's another picture from Pinterest; this one's Clara.
Benjamin, or Benny, is four. He has tan hair and is a happy and excited little boy. He loves when Lester takes him outside to work on the farm, and he has a never-ending supply of energy. He has a million questions which can tire his family but they all love him.
Rosy, or Rosanna, is two. She has a head full of bright orange curls. She opens up to people very easily and is full of smiles and giggles. She follow Janet around the house and watches intently, learning much each day. She doesn't talk fully yet but is learning quickly.
Hannah is Meg's sister, not one of the Andersons, but since I found a picture that looks like her, I figured I'd share it. Again, the picture is not mine.
Well, that's all for now! Did you enjoy getting to meet the Anderson family? Which one are you most like?
I would say Becky
ReplyDeleteShe's probably my favorite of the Andersons!
