Spotlight: {Grandma Wilson}

From the archives.  🙂  This was back in March, but I realized I hadn’t posted it yet.  We went to visit Grandma Wilson for a Family Home Evening.  She is so sweet and gracious.  We asked her if we could come, teach a lesson and bring treats.  She insisted on making us dinner.  While there […]

Playing house with a four-year-old boy…

It started out just your normal playing house type activity.  A couple of dolls, a bathroom in the attic. Andy-roo decided to get a little crazy with people falling out of windows and watching fireworks on the roof.  He found it quite humorous. Katey not so much.  Autumn even joined in the fun and had […]
