Fall 2013 Photo Book

Here is my latest creation on Shutterfly!  Really love that site.  Makes me look all creative and crafty, but I'm not.  And when Groupon has a deal for $10 (normally $29.99).....score, works for me.

6th Grade Winter Band Concert

Tuesday night was Sophia's 1st official band concert.  She was so very excited!!  It was a success and made us proud.  She really enjoys playing the flute.  

All of our family in NC were able to attend.  That made Sophia very happy!!

After the concert, we invited all back to our house for dessert.  The Vang's came as well.  Aliah & Sophia both play the flute and they are in our congregation!  The evening was wonderful!  

Sophia ~ over the past few months, you've practiced so much with your flute and it shows!  You play beautifully!!  Keep up the good work sweetie!!!

Auntie & Uncle Visit

Kelly & Dennis flew in November 23rd for a week long visit.  We were so happy to have them!!  It had been 11 months since we saw them......way too long.  

There was a lot of relaxing together, exercising together, laughing and enjoying each others company.  Sophia was very happy to have them attend her horse riding lesson.  What made it even more special was she cantered for the first time!  She was so happy!!  It was great!  We truly appreciate them making the time to come & visit us.  It meant a lot!!  

We love you both!!!!  

Chain counting down the days until they come!!
