Today was the semi-finals in the girls soccer league. It was a lovely sunny day, but very cold morning (38F) so Brenda and Eleri stayed at home. Prior to the game Emmy was giving her prediction that they would end up on top!

The girls got new wheels one Saturday. Emmy got new pink roller blades and Elle got a new pink scooter. When we got home, the girls were skating/scooting in the house. Jim commented, “I can’t believe they are skating in the house”. My reply, “because they can” Jim laughed and agreed. We have these […]
