Several of my friends have floorboards or trunks full of several different types of baby carriers - one for every occasion.  Until we cleaned out the van and replaced all of…

Kylie’s 8th Grade Dance – #WordlessWednesday | #8thgradedance #beauty #ww

Kylie attended her first dance last weekend.  Since she's not allowed to date until she's 16, we allowed her to go with one of her friends from church.  We (my mom, his mom, and I) took them to eat before the dance, and we dropped them off.  When it was over, we all went and picked them up!  They had a good time, but neither of them are really "dancers" and the music was different that what their used to!
