I can’t believe Savannah is old enough for Vacation Bible School! I signed her up for two VBS’s this summer – today was the first day of the first one. She seemed to really enjoy it! She just barely squeaked by to get in, since the age cut-off was Sept 1st. So, a lot has been going on here, as usual. * For Memorial Day, we went down to Orlando for my nephew’s 2nd birthday.
