My finger
When I was 4 or 5, I was walking my grandmother's dog in my snowy backyard. I had wrapped the leash around my hand, and the dog was yanking my along, and I broke my left ring finger. However, being a very stoic child, I didn't cry or say it bothered me, so no one ever noticed. My finger healed wrong and now it's all bent. It didn't hurt for years, but recently it's started hurting. I'm seeing a hand specialist about it, and I have to choose between having surgery on it, maybe fixing the pain but possibly limiting the movement in that finger, or not doing surgery and risking it getting worse. I would appreciate prayers.

Happy New Year!
I have not written in a while. I'm sure you've noticed.
Excuses: Christmas, busy, forgetful, sick, random other stuff.
Okay, we've gotten that over with.
So! Happy new year! I actually posted on the right day this year! Last year I posted on January 2nd, I think. I heard a rumor that aliens are supposed to invade this year. Your thoughts?
My younger brother Isaac's birthday was yesterday! He got a video game, a kite, and a building set. Christmas was also recently, but I can't remember all my presents. Oh well.
My sisters Miriam and Naomi also had birthdays recently. Now our family's ages are, oldest to youngest, 15, 13, 12, 10, 9, 7, 4, 2, 0. It's funny, by the time Rose, our youngest, is 5 or 6 she could be an aunt!
I have to get off, so, cheerio!

NaNoWriMo
NANOWRIMO STARTS TODAY! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I'm writing a story about a knight and a dragon.
It also snowed for the first time here! It didn't stick, but it's still cool. (by that I mean interesting AND cold.)

Life
It's been a while since I posted...
So, Rose is doing great. She's really cute, and likes swinging in the little baby swing. :)
Daniel and Sarah are nuttier than ever. Daniel's favorite activity is dumping water on the floor, and Sarah's is hitting him whenever he doesn't do her bidding.
My friends, Hannah and Bethanne, auditioned for the Fueled and Aflame dance group, and were accepted! I'm so excited for them. :D
My blog got a new background! I'm still deciding on the one I want, so expect it to change quite a bit in the next few days.
Peace out!

New blog name
So, I was thinking. Why is my blog called the Awesome Sapphire Blog? It's supposed to be about her, but it's mostly about me. If anyone has an idea for a new name, please tell me in the comments!
Also, for no reason at all, I will talk like a fish for the rest of the month.

Our Pool
This
Is our pool.
Well, it's more than that. It's us kids getting into the pool as our Dad takes a video of us. On the 24th, Daniel's birthday, we started opening the pool, which means that we started up the pump and took off the heavy winter cover. YAY! ^ ^ Our first swim was on the 26th... or 27th. I don't remember <XD It was 64 degrees Fahrenheit, and IT WAS COLD! >.< We had fun, though. we swam again once yesterday and again today. Today it was warm! ^ ^
I shall write again when I remember. Peace out!

Life
Life...
Um, lessee.
Last Sunday, us older 4 girls went to the AHG (American Heritage Girls, in case you didn't know) Fashion Show that Naomi and I organized. Naomi and I were on the stage the time, reading the descriptions of the outfits, and boy was I nervous! I didn't mess up though, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. :D
Speaking of AHG, here's come pictures I drew for an art auction!
Ta-daaa! I drew the outlines by hand (see first pictures) and then scanned them into the computer and colored and shaded them. I didn't shade most of Shadow, though, since he's black.
I've been wanting to buy this Sonic Comic that was supposed to come out in February, but it still hasn't come out. -_- Darn it. It's new release date is May 27th, but somehow I doubt that. I wonder what's wrong with Archie comics?
I never did mention that MY MOM IS PREGNANT! :D :D :D :D :D The baby's a girl, she doesn't have a name yet, and she's doing fine. ^ ^
That's all, so, peace out, dudes!

Easter
HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
So lately I've been thinking... about the origins of some Easter traditions, like, why on earth is there an Easter bunny who hides eggs? Why do we hide and search for eggs on Easter anyway? If anyone knows how these traditions got started, can they let me know?

Custom Plush
A couple days ago I ordered a custom Sonic Plush! ^ ^ I ordered it from this site. http://www.setsunakou.com/
I sent them a picture of Saffy, my Sonic charrie, via email. It cost 65 dollars, and it should get here in about six weeks.

Naomi's blog
Just today, I realized that I have been updating my blog way more often than Naomi, who used to complain about how I never posted. *high fives myself*

Life
So... life. :)
Last month, our monthly P.E.A.C.H. skates were canceled. -_- Fortunately, the same month a friend of ours arranged a homeschoolers day at a nearby rec center so we can go ICE skating. :)
More good news, my friend Ameera, who was gone for a little over a month as she moved, finally returned and Naomi and I are chatting with her regularly again. :D
Sonic 06, as mentioned in my previous post, was a HUGE hit with my family (except Naomi). It's all anyone ever plays or talks about. Even my brother Isaac, who is usually very picky about the games he plays, loves this one.
My little brother Daniel, has also changed. He is now a climbing machine, and it's a miracle that he hasn't gotten seriously hurt yet. :)
So yeah, that's what's been happening. Peace out dudes! Don't forget to feed the animoids! ^ ^

Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 review
Last Thursday I got a game I have been wanting for so long, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2006! I didn't post until now because I was having too much fun playing it.
Almost everyone I meet says this is the worst game ever, but I cannot imagine why anyone would give this game a bad review. It is practically the best game I have played in my ENTIRE LIFE!
Now I know that I'm not a professional reviewer. I mostly judge games by plot, and not by gameplay. My sister Naomi hates Elise(resident princess), so she doesn't play the game. She says the rest of the game is boring.
Needless to say, I don't agree. ^ ^
I give this game 5,000,000 stars out of 100! (That should prove my point)

The Theory of Evolution
As a strong Christian, I believe that evolution is wrong.
In fact, I believe that it makes no sense whatsoever.
The facts that prove this I will post below.
#1 The fossil record.
See the diagram.
The fossil record SHOULD look like a tree, animals evolving and multiplying again and again. But it doesn't. What it shows is a few bugs micro-evolving into a few different forms and then BOOM! Suddenly the record overflows with fossils of animals of all kinds. That is proof that evolution is wrong. If you're still not convinced, read on.
#2 The impossibility.
Think of a watch. A really old watch like in old movies. Take the imaginary watch completely apart and put all the parts in a box. Shake it for 5 billion years. If you open the box, will the watch be put together AND ticking?
Pretty impossible, right?
The universe is billions of times more complex than an old watch, and according to evolutionists, it all happened by chance. Like someone put all the pieces in a box and shook it for 5 billion years. The chance that that could have happened is one in 5,000,000 X four hundred googleplex. Another reason why evolution can't work.
#3 The time
According to evolutionists, everything evolved from single-cell organisms over a period of billions of years. According to a very smart Christian scientist, that is way too short a time for the complexity of life today to evolve! Another reason why it can't work.
#4 The rate of evolution
If evolution is true, (which it isn't) than everything should have evolved the same time. Which it shouldn't! If everything evolved, there's no way it could have all happened at once. If it's true, then some of the animals today should be half lion and half dog or something like that. I'm not sure if this is really relevant, it's just something my brother and I were discussing.
I don't blame today's generation for being mostly evolutionists, just so everyone knows, so I hope no one yells at me for hating them.
I hope everyone who reads this post seriously considers asking Jesus into their hearts.
Peace out y'all!
