    Sweet. Sounds like a great start to the year. It’s so nice to know that your kid is in good hands. She seems like a very wise teacher. :)

      thanks joyce. it has been super sweet. I’m cherishing every moment knowing how quickly it goes (have a nephew who graduated from High School this year…). Also wonderful to have another godly woman pouring into Quade and echoing God’s truth & encouragement into his precious soul. Thanks friend!
