The day before the day before school starts. Eli starts First Grade tomorrow and he declared that Stephen would walk him in, but only that first day.
This past week I bought what felt like mountains of school supplies. First, I bought some for Eli. And then I made a second trip to buy for a [...]
I always love my Tuesday nights with the crafty gals. This week was no exception. We has some serious crafting!
