Marvelous May

-

 Hello to all!

    May was a fun, busy, but marvelous month, as we finished up school!  YAY!!!  We are fully into summer break now.  With a baby in the house, summer break has never felt more needed, nor have I ever been so thankful summer break arrived.  We had several end-of-year events at CCA for Kirk.  Jadon finished up his online school the last week of May.  There were also little gems scattered throughout the month, too.
