We have been so busy doing life. This mother's day questionnaire from Eleanor shows that not all my hard work has gone unnoticed. Sometimes it feels like that is all I spend my life doing. The kids are officially done with school and all the sudden I'm stuck wondering where the year went. How is it summer already?

Introducing Our New Baby Girl
Before I start talking about our Halloween or Christmas or sharing printables, I need to formally introduce you to our new baby girl. This whole experience with baby four felt pretty surreal.
