Today is a big day for Peyton at camp so I'm packing a little larger lunch than normal. Peyton is also on a peanut butter and jelly kick so I packed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into the shape of a butterfly.Peyton also has an obsession with pretzel sticks so I decided to send those along with her too today.

The Life We Never Expected
The Life We Never Expected was written by Andrew and Rachel Wilson. The typical married couple that have two children, however, their children are regressive autistic.
