Karys wore the ladybug costume that Eliana wore when she was the same age. Eliana was the pink Power Ranger.

That one was HER choice.

Eliana and I were sitting outside of school this morning when a sour-looking lady passed in front of the van.

“She’s a grumpus”, I commented.

“Who?”

I pointed at the lady entering the building.

“She’s a teacher”, Eliana said.

“And she’s a grumpus.”

“No she’s not. Her face is just like that.”

Today was Eliana’s last soccer game of the year. It was supposed to be this past Saturday but was rained out.

Well, it really wasn’t even a game. The other team didn’t show so Eliana and her teammates played the coaches and a couple of older boys.

You know what? Eliana played the hardest she’s played all year and scored 3 goals!

I think she just likes playing against bigger kids. Even one of the coaches made a similar remark.

Cupcakes and juice helped bring a fitting conclusion to the season.

Carmi went to Charlotte with a friend to attend an all-day “Women of Faith” conference at Bobcat Arena.

The girls and I took advantage of a gorgeous day and visited a local park.
