Kyooty,
I love the Easter basket on your snowy chair. Believe it or not, it has been so hot the azaleas are already fading. This summer maybe a sizzler.

My Little Skater Girl
On Easter Sunday, my oldest daughter turned seven years old. Weighing in at 42 pounds and 42 inches tall, she is the smallest student in her first grade class. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in brains and spirit. She is reading at a third grade level. Ladybug often sneaks a flashli...
I hope all is well, and that you had a great spring break.
