Monday, May 04, 2015. Back to the Cross. Hannah joined the children’s choir at our church for kids in SK through Grade 2, in January. She was a little hesitant that first night but after a warm welcome by the leaders and a special evening of fun, she came out happy and asked when she could go back again! Friday evening was their dress rehearsal and they began it with prayer. Oh how this warms my heart! Today was the culmination of months of hard work and Hannah did so well! You did so well Hannah!

Sharing some last moments together before we all went our separate ways. Plus an Anna and Elsa flip-flop doll. We rode an art...
