Family History

Do you remember last year when Abby did a report at school on her family history? She talked about how the Herrold clan came from Germany, yada yada yada. Well, it's EG's turn to have this school project. I asked her if she wanted to do the same thing Abby did (which would make it sooo easy for Mom) and she said no. I asked her if she wanted to talk about how my side of the family came from Italy. She said no. She wants to talk about how she is from Oklahoma (said in her thickest Texoman accent!)

So, after I got approval from the teacher to focus on Oklahoma as our "country" of origin we set to work. It actually ended being pretty cute. She told about how her (use fingers to count) great great great great grandfather Hiram Herrold was in the Oklahoma Land Run. She explained that some people cheated and they were called Sooners. She also talked about how much our family loves the Sooners. A girl with true Sooner Pride!
