Noellyn's Diary
Sunday,October 22, 2000
Hello Diary, my name is Noellyn and I am 10. This year I am in fourth grade. I just got adopted by the Mimiouses. So far they are very nice, and there are a lot of them. There's my new mommy, Sue, and my new daddy, Jack. My first day here I met the four four-year-olds, Matthew who's six, Autumn who's 13 and Erin who's 14. Later on I met their four cousins, Charlotte, Abbie, Joseph and Nicholas. And I know that's not all, Autumn told me there is a lot more family that doesn't live around here.
Before they adopted me they visited me at the orphanage and talked to me for awhile. They asked me what my favorite color was, and I told them it was yellow, so they painted my new room yellow!! Isn't that cool! I like it, it's makes the room feel sorta warm and sunny, even when it's not.
Yesterday Sue took me shopping for new clothes, and Autumn and Erin came along. Both of them said they'd love to help me pick out clothes, and it'd be a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, but I think they only went along because they wanted to see if Sue might buy them some clothes too, which she did. I am wearing one of my new oufits now, it's very comfy. I feel kind of guilty that they spent so much money on me, but I don't feel that guilty. Besides, it takes a lot to make up for 10 years.
Oooh, guess what Diary??? They have a pet reindeer!! Isn't that cool!! I know people who have had pet cats, and pet dogs, and pet fish, but I've never known anyone who has had a pet reindeer!! The reindeer's name is Esther, and she likes me all ready because I gave her some food. I think I'm going to go play with her right now, she's very fun, so bye!

I have a friend! Her name is Elizabeth, and she has two horses. I don't even have one! Her favorite hobby is horseback riding. They only time I've gone horseback riding was a pony ride at the zoo. It was very slow, and only went around the ring once. Elizabeth's very nice and cool, and guess what??? She's coming over on Thursday! I'm going to make sure all of my brothers and sisters stay out of the way so that they can't annoy me, which they seem to do a lot. Maybe I can make cookies with my new mommy. I'm going to go ask her now, bye!

I had a lot of fun when Liza came over. For awhile my brothers and sisters bugged her, but then they left us alone. We made chocolate brownies and ate a lot of them. Sue made us save some so that Liza could take some home with here. There still were some left after Liza left, but I left the kitchen for a minute and when I came back they were all gone. Oh well. I'm going to her house this weekend.

Hello Diary. Today is Thanksgiving! We are having a big dinner with tons of food! I'm making something, I don't know what. Actually, I forgot what. I'm so excited! Me and Matthew played tag around the house today, it was very fun. He's very fast even though he's only six, and we were both it a lot. But then Sue got pretend mad and told us we had to top because she was going deaf. Now we are going to play a board game, I don't know which one.
Jack took me and Matthew to Mount Cheesie Elemantary a couple days ago to look around. He's going to enroll us there. He says we've been homeschooled too long, and that since Mouse Elemantray Waldorf hasn't responded yet we are going to go to another school. I'm really excited about starting school, I'll make a ton of new friends!
Matthew brought back the board game, so bye bye!
