2018 Week 27 Shamrocks, Addition, Letter Oo

First of all,
We are all saddened by the untimely loss of Amelia Speltz, Payson's auntie.  Amelia was my kindergartener 15 years ago, a friend to my daughter, and a very helpful volunteer for our summer programs.  She will me missed by so many. 

It's that time of year again...Maple sugaring (syrup)! My 15 year old son was in charge of tapping trees for the first time this year! Yay, Fionn!

It was so nice to see so many of you at the Winter Carnival. I love to help out at the facepainting table ... Or arm painting!

Here's a few more family projects!
