Yesterday I took Sarah to the Village for some one on one time after Kindergarten. We had a wonderful time feeding the ducks and of course shopping.

Sarah received her very first Amercan Girl Doll today. Both the girls (including me) received Bitty baby Dolls when they were toddlers, and now Sarah has her very own “Sarah” Doll.
We decided to name her “Sarah” because Samantha has the “Samantha American Girl Doll”. We bought  “Samantha” weeks before they retired her.
