First Grade Valentine

Alex got this Valentine earlier this month from he best pal Zach. It made me think of my friends from first grade. It is just the sweetest thing!
Amazingly, I still keep in touch with two of those girls. They were and always will be my bestest friends... the bestest friends a friend could have. I've been to each of their weddings and they were in mine. I'm glad that Alex has a friend like Zach and I hope they will always be best pals!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from Harry Potter and my favorite little Stinker!!

Catching Up Again

Craig's brother Brian, Brian's lovely wife Sarah, and our adorable nephew Payton came to visit the weekend of the 21st and I neglected to post pictures. It was a great visit, but as usual, we ended up with only pictures of the boys. Next time, we'll have to make a point to get a picture of Sarah and me!

Not sure who's concentrating harder... but I do believe
Alex set a new record for last place! At least he had fun!
