Princess Party






Here are a few photos from Ellie's 3rd birthday party. The girls all had fun...and the boys were great helpers! Lots of pink (as requested by the birthday girl)--pink crowns, pink necklaces & bracelets, pancakes with pink strawberries and whipped cream and pink cupcakes. Happy Birthday, Ellie!

Midwest Trip





Studying Daniel Boone


It doesn't get much cooler for a group of young boys--studying the great frontiersman, Daniel Boone. Indians, hunting, exploring, guns...pretty exciting stuff!
