Salem Lucille: 7 1/2 Years Old


 Dearest Salem Lucille,

My sweet girl, how are you rapidly approaching eight years old?! Your little personality is blooming and beaming with pride. You’ve caught a little bit of the first grade sass, but our mostly sweet!








You have excelled tremendously in your first season of competitive gymnastics. You were a Beam Queen all season long posting a score of nine or higher and never faltering. At state you were second on beam, tied for second on bars, fourth floor, and fourth all around! 








You continue to be an absolute diva on the dance stage! You, Vivian, and JoJo are crushing it in your trio titled “Sleepover.” Miss Christy Is your dance teacher and she has put together the cutest dance for you all!

You are thriving in your group and Miss Skyler could have made a better dance to “Material Girl.” You are also rocking your jazz to “Walking on Sunshine” As well as your hip-hop to “Ice Cream Shop.” You have main parts in all of your dance, and you truly shine on stage!




You have loved first grade so much and you make special pictures for Miss Chaput every week. You are later in the classroom and a sweet friend to all.

My favorite part of the day is when I took you in bed and you do your nighttime kissing routine~ My right cheek, my left cheek, my forehead, my nose, and then a big kiss on the lips. Followed by a big bear hug. I hope you will always remember this bedtime tradition, and that it will mean as much to you as it means to me!

I love you!

Love,

Mommy

He is RISEN: Easter 2025

 Spring has sprung and we have packed us much Easter celebrating as we could since April 1st. It’s been a month of reflection and rebirth. A time of second chances and forgiveness for our mistakes. Easter reminds us that Jesus always brings HOPE and LIGHT.
