A Little This, A Little That

I don't have a lot of words today (you're welcome). Just a few pictures. First, this little gem that was printed in the Dixie Sun last week, and I promptly stole it from their website:
Olivia was photographed for an article about her gymnastics teacher, Miss Teresa. Isn't she sweet in her little unitard? Whip out your microscope and you can see Macey goofing off in the mirror in the background.
