Vickey took these photos as Eliana belted out, vibrato and all, how happy she was for her family, her friends and for Jesus. She’s starting to remember the Primary songs and sing them on a whim, mixed with some creative lyrics.
She’s been out of school the past two days so I took some time off this afternoon to spend with her. We went to see Charlotte’s Web at the movie theater. She enjoyed her $5 popcorn, drink and candy and I enjoyed the break from work. I’ve been working hard since the holidays. Ellie even cried when Charlotte died…what a cutie.
And out of deference to Mr. Shakespeare, the complete text, from As You Like It:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
