Melissa's Graduation!

This Saturday Melissa graduated from high school!  It's very exciting and we're so proud of her, but we will miss her when she goes to off to college at Dallas Baptist University!  Here are some photos.

Yesterday Melissa, Ellie, and Clara went on a walk.  We found a grassy shady place and took lots of pictures.

This is a video of Melissa and Ellie doing the dance from the King and I dance.

This weekend Melissa and Ellie went to a friends birthday party. We brought Mema's square dance dresses, and some of the girls wore them. We learned The King and I dance, and also did some square dancing (hence the dresses.) It was very fun.
