HER OWN PAGE

Well I couldn't leave her out!!! Since her brother has his own page I thought she might like to have one too.
Ericka is doing great. She has been growing like a weed this last year and I am starting to feel reeeealy short. She absolutely LOVES to skate and the rink has become her second home since we moved here. She has done really well this season and is hoping to go to Nationals this year. It's a long shot but you never know.
She is getting A's and works to keep them. If she isn't on wheels then she has her nose in a book. I can't count how many books she has read and she'll rarely pass up a chance to visit the library. She has made several friends at school and through skating of course. She is waiting patiently to meet new kids in the neighborhood. We are just now starting to see people buying the houses around us so it probably won't be long. The weather is now warmer and she goes outside with Nate and they kick the soccer ball around. She is a busy kid and has to be doing something or she goes nutty. One of the things she really likes to do is write stories. She has beautiful handwriting for a kid her age and her stories are fun to read.
I can't believe she will be 10 this year, time seems to just fly by. One more school year and she will be in junior high, poor girl.
She has had to learn the hard way lately that even though she thinks she knows it all MOM is still in charge. She has a mouth and she has been known to be a bit "stubborn" as one teacher said it so eloquently. She has yanked us right into the "tween" years YIPPEEE!!!! We have only just begun.
