Congratulations Olivia!

Olivia with her certificates of Excellence and Acheivement from Mommy and Daddy
Olivia has worked so hard this year to complete 2nd grade school requirements.  We are so thankful for her and for God's grace in her life and the sweet girl He is making her to be. 

One of the fun things we did to celebrate was to make Flubber:
