New Glasses for Johanna.

December 13, 2021 | Stacy

Johanna has had the same frames* since 2016.
We went a few weeks ago to get her some new specs. She went for a beautiful blue with tortoise shell arms. I love that Johanna totally relies on comfort of the glasses to make her choice. She doesn’t mess around with it.

9/21/16 she got her first pair. ◄ That link is worth clicking!

*Technically – she did not wear the exact same pair for 5+ years – in 2018 I lost her glasses at a beach in California. When we got home, however, we were able to replace them with the exact frames even though stock was almost gone.

Katriel and her Christmas offering

December 13, 2021 | Stacy

The first photo is a daytime photo of our church. The decorations are so lovely.

Katriel had to be at church by 4 for rehearsals. The children’s choir she joined on a whim turned out to be an amazing opportunity for her to offer her gifts and talents to our Christmas celebrations.

Many a Butler child has offered musical gifts, but this year, it is Katriel alone who graced the stage.

My heart was full. She kept herself smiling all the time.

As we arrived home we got to see the beautiful candles that lined the whole track. Marie and Stewart went to get ours this afternoon. It is an HOA thing. People walked the neighborhood to visit and have treats together. We missed it because of the concert, but we were very blessed by the concert. You sometimes just can’t do everything!
