  Lunch with Miss Carrie I know it should be Mrs. Carrie, but really Aunt Carrie, since that’s kind of what she is to Carson and Betsy.  What a blessing to have such a wonderful friend who is willing to have lunch with a ridiculous 2 1/2 year old and a messy baby!  We were … [Read more…]

  Mismatched Betsy’s outfit came about in pieces today as other parts of it got dirty.  We didn’t start the day like this. Today was surprisingly uneventful and really wonderful.  After Betsy’s morning nap we took a trip to Target.  After lunch we played outside for a while then came in when some huge black … [Read more…]
