A time to give

We were so proud of both Julian and Elia on the day of their first volunteer project through our church.  Eli's best friend also came along to help!  They all helped set up the food and offered assistance to those who came to the food pantry that day. 

 Dad assisted with the cart to prevent any disasters!

 

 

 

Meeting her favorite author

Not too many of us get such an honor.  Elia was able to meet Mr. Dan Gutman at Barnes and Noble during his book signing.  To take a look at his books, you can visit his website here!

 Mr. Gutman spent a few minutes discussing, well, who knows what with Elia!

 Elia's first grade teacher, Mrs. Stone, was also there!

A girl's best friend

Elia loves my mom's puppy, Gabby!  

Here are a few shots of the two together while visiting Bella Vista...
