As part of our marketing inspiration day we took a class in paper making @ Dieu Donné.

For once, I didn’t have my camera with me!



My first paper

Can’t wait to give this to my Chloe!


I guess work can be fun sometimes. 🙂

Chloe made a beautiful card to her teacher. She had a great year and we’re so proud of her for doing so well at school. Is it weird that I also feel like I accomplished 1st grade too?

Big breakfast for the big kid.




Chloe, saying grace this morning, giving thanks for her dad.

Shane: Mommy, I know why mother’s day and father’s day are on Sundays.
Me: Oh yeah? Why?
Shane: Because we can go to church in the morning and thank God for our mothers and fathers.
How sweet…

The entire first graders sang together this morning. They did a wonderful job singing.
I bawled my eyes out watching my baby girl not looking like a baby anymore. She’s really grown…


I was beyond impressed by their fantastic performance. Hats off to all of you!

After the concert, we came to her class where the kids did presentations on their countries.

Other parents brought in their traditional food…except for me.




Chloe did an awesome job representing France. 🙂











We’re so proud of you!!!

Chloe’s room has a pretty view of the backyard. Our magnolia tree started blooming just in time for our return.



A new mirror completes the room !
