Hello from our beehive and Happy 100th Day!
I hope that y’all are looking forward to the weekend; I certainly am! Mr. B and I get to see Scarlett in 3D and we couldn’t be more excited!!  I definitely am looking forward to meeting our princess but I am also beginning to get sad because I know the time is running out with your precious children. I’m going to focus on having as much fun as I can while I still have them, and we will work very hard to make y’all proud on their Terra Nova test! We will begin preparing for it next week and the test week will be the week of April 24th. Have a BEE-autiful weekend!
Love in Christ, Mrs. B 
