Selah’s Sixth Birthday Selahbration
I am pretty sure that before every single birthday party we throw for our kids, I say, “Let’s keep it simple.” And every year, it just ends up being far from that.

Christmas Before and Afters

Well, another school year is off to the races…and this year, our baby girl headed off to kindergarten.

Selah’s Last Day of Gymnastics…For Now
As you know, this little monkey has been thriving with gymnastics for years. Well, we knew as the 2018-2019 school year approached, Selah needed to make a decision. Her gymnastics classes were the same two days as school.
