Middle School "Step Up Day"

Elli toured the middle school for "Step Up Day"!

Kaitlyn said, "but she's supposed to be 5 forever". That's the age I had told Dad earlier when I asked him why I was posting a pic of our "5-yr. old" in front of the middle school!?

Mother's Day ~ 2021

Pictures taken May 9 ~

I felt loved on Mother's Day with breakfast in bed, beautiful cards and gifts, Brady home and video calls with Kaitlyn in NY, and teaching Sunday school. 

For Sunday school, we painted a heart on a wallflower fragrance bottle using a foam heart sticker stencil and nail polish. We also had a foot massage coupon and moisturizing cream. It turned out so cute!
