Sophie's Room Is Complete!

8 months ago, we started decorating Sophie's room. Today it is complete, and we are so pleased with the way it turned out. Christi Dunn captured exactly the look I was wanting for the room. She painted all of the canvases in the room and the knobs and pulls on the furniture. She is such a talented artist, and we are so blessed to have her in our area. Thanks, Christi!! Sally Willis sewed the curtains, cushions, pillows, and table skirt and topper. She does beautiful work, and her talent put the finishing touches on the room. Thanks, Sally!

Happy New Year!

February 7th was Chinese New Year, the year of the rat. To celebrate, we went to the annual Chinese New Year Parade in Fairhope that our agency sponsors. It was so much fun to see all of the Chinese children from the area. The weather was beautiful, so many people participated in and enjoyed the parade.
