18 Months Old
Wow, how a little girl changes in 6 months!!! Linley is walking running everywhere, eating almost anything, into everything and even developing her independence, (aka a little attitude)!

Teacher’s Gifts
This year for teacher’s gifts I wanted to do something that they could keep, especially since John-Isaac had had all of his teachers for 2 years and they have all kind of become like part of our family. I decided that flower pots would be somewhat easy and fun to do. I think they turned [...]
