Sunbeam

January 9, 2017 in Church, Crew - No Comments

We kicked off the new year by sending Crew to his first day of Primary. All of his preschool buddies are in Sunbeams too and since they are so familiar with each other, it’s a nonstop party. They’re animated, they’re loud and they’re wiggly. Everything you can expect from a…

Summer Wrap-Up

Before I move on to our end of summer trip, here are the rest of our pre-Michigan happenings:We got summer dollar passes to our new local movie theater. They showed a different kids’ movie each week for 12 weeks. It was a highlight to sit in that brand new air-conditioned…
