haha sis......no auntie I didn't want people to be mad at me for not updating in a while.
April 15th 1842
Dear Journal,
Daniel's fever broke today and he hasn't been sick to his stomach he could actually keep food down the last few days. George says were almost in what the Americans call Wyoming. I have no idea how he knows these things. We just tend to listen to him and not contradict him. We listen to George and Carrie like we were still kids and following the directions of our parents. Today we met up with this couple that had a little 5 month old baby girl named Kathrine. They were going where we were so we let them join us. There names are Colleen and Neil Byrne. Now our group is up to 16 people. Now there are 3 wagons. We saw a bees nest in a cotton wood tree today. Damian almost hit the nest with a stick. He had it just inches away from the nest. Hopefully he won't cause any accidents. Love, Erin Cahill nee' McGrady

I agree with you Sis, I can too auntie. ok my next update
April 22, 1842
Dear Journal,
We got to Wyoming two days ago. We have seen fox's and owls and other plants and animals. Some I know the name of but others are completely new to me. Colleen tells me others I don't know apparently she was taught how to no which were which. It is strange to have a a baby with us.. Rebecca loves having Kathrine with us. She keeps telling me over and over “It will be such good practice for when we have babies.” Rebecca is due in around 7 months. Becca just keeps talking about babies all the time. I swear Keith is about to crack. He doesn't want anymore reminder that she is going to have a child. To him she is still his baby sister that is fragile and still needs help to get on a horse. He isn't like that with Sarah. Emmet is like that with Sarah and Damian and Daniel are best mates. Yesterday Neil got mad at Colleen because she didn't listen to him and hit her. George yelled at him and had Colleen and Kathrine in one of our wagons with Keith,Treena,Damian,Meagan, and Emmet and I.
Love, Erin Cahill nee' McGrady

The update is really good Aeryn.. George is like the leader and what he says goes no matter what. I'm glad he was there to intercede. I have a bit to add to your update if you don't mind.
Neil regretted what he did, just after it happened, he even apologized to Colleen but George would not stand for NO man hitting a woman even if she didn't listen to him. He realized what he did was done without any thought behind it. His daughter, Katherine, looked just like him when he was younger. She had gorgeous dark brown hair and her mom's stunning brown eyes. When he hit Colleen he hung his head in shame, he knew better and if his mam would have seen what he did she would have hit him upside the head. Every chance he got he apologized saying he would never do it again and this was a one time event. He said he didn't want to risk loosing the two most special women in his life. He loved them both.
- ok you can add that if you want but I think Neil deserves a second chance he made an error in judgement he is a sensitive soul after all. i'm pretty sure his mam would have slapped him if she ever found that he hit a woman.

ok so colleen wrote another part. if you haven't read it is above.
April 30, 1842
Dear Journal, A few days ago we met Indian's as we were traveling. They wore strange things with feathers on there heads. At first they looked like they were about to hurt us when the Indian chief came out and stopped them. They spoke in a language that none of us have ever heard. I was actually scared when they were about to attack us. I try not to show my feelings in front of Daniel because he looks up to us all. I was sure we were going to die. Nothing like that has happened along this trek but it was bound to happen. I must stop for tonight. Emmet is calling to go to bed.
Love, Erin Cahill nee' McGrady

Wow! you where all lucky that you escaped with your lives. But remember there are both good and bad tribes of Native Americans around the time you are writing. And I agree with Colleen that Neil deserved a second chance! Glad she wrote that little scene where Neil said he was sorry for what he did!

Dear Journal,
There was an accident today. As we were at a stopping point we saw another family to the side of the trail. They looked stuck and we stopped to see if they needed help. As we did a young man in that wagon took out a gun and started to threaten us. We had no idea what to do. Apparently that was the couple's 14 year old son. His mother finally got him to let us go. They both apologized about his behavior and asked if there was anything they could do about it. George said no and that it was alright and we would be on our way. Our group left and headed West.
Love, Erin Cahill nee' McGrady

Sounds like the lad was scared about something or was not quite right in the head!
