Bursts of Sunshine!

Our Sunshine is a Senior and has another set of senior pictures - which were taken by the amazing Mrs. Beaver at Unto Him We Live. Incidentally, this arrangement of pics shown below was done by Cassandra, another Beaver that is showing that she has a great eye for photography. It must run in their blood!! And BTW - if you think her picture arranging is good, you should try her chocolate cake!!!

I also want to announce that our Sunshine has her own blog!! It's called Bursts of Sunshine and I invite you to go pay her a visit and give her some love!! You will certainly be brightened by a burst of Sunshine!

I am grateful to God for our Sunshine. We are truly blessed.
