Sage's Class Trip and Graduation

Sage's class was able to go to a small petting zoo and he loved it as you could see.

Our Trip Stateside - Part 1

Some major recaps and updates!

I realized that I have been using FB more and more and have neglected the blog, but I should have this as well, so I have to get back on track!

Here are some pics that we took of our trip Stateside in April! We had a super great time! So much to do and we just stayed (pretty much) in Gettysburg and the surrounding area.

We look forward to more trips like this one!
