Back to School

Today was Kelsey's first day of Pre-K. She was very excited and the morning went off without a hitch. Detailed reporting of her first day at her new school will follow. She is currently attending The Sunshine House school in Loganville, but we are hopeful that a spot will open for her at Loganville Primary (where Michelle teaches) very soon.

She completes the ensemble with the Team Strawberry Shortcake backpack and z-strap sneakers from Target .

Do people spend this money because they are incapable of saying the things that...
