More excitement
After the excitement of last week's birthday and awards luncheon, we have even more excitement to look forward to this week. After a tense semi-final game on Saturday, Julie's indoor soccer team made it into the finals. Nikki's team had already made it, so this week,...
Yay! Spring is here!
