Tonight Kelly and I had a sitter so we could get some Christmas shopping done. We have been so busy with the shop that this was the first opportunity we had to pick a few special things out for the children. I love blessing our kids with things that they will love and...
To say it has been busy around here would be an understatement. Good things are happening though. We are back at school and loving it. I think we are finally back into the swing of it and the kids know the drill. The new collection will go into production next...
