Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Card games, swimming and dancing. Those three activities are Sasha's favorite at the moment. She loves Ballet.

Here as a wai...

Away in A Manger – Joie de Vivre
https://joyfulmom2boys.wordpress.com/away-in-a-manger

However, I have learned that I know what I’m looking for and when I find it, I KNOW that’s IT. Thus, there’s a lot of waiting involved since I don’t become obsessive about the hunt. Sawyer visiting with the Holy Family. So I purchased the Holy Family probably about 3 years ago. It is made by Fontanini. They were all back in the boat last night.
