Jalia's New Hat

Jalia and I went to the mall and book store for our "date"

and she found this adorable hat. She loves it. So far she

has worn it everyday!

We are amazed at how much she looks like Timari.

She does....doesn't she? Or are we just missing

Tim? Maybe, it's a little bit of both, but when we walked back

in the house Carter did think she was Timari. :)

Kelsey

Kelsey has been pretty busy this last week.....she has started driving, volunteering with the Special Olympics, and got her braces off. Out of those, I am going to have to tell you, that being a volunteer for the Special Olympics is at the TOP. When we pick her up (can't drive at night, yet), she has a smile that I can't even explain. She is having so much fun and has so many great stories. She is a wonderful example to us. "Way to get out there and do what you love, Punkie. We love you." :)
