What have we been up to lately you ask?

I (Lacey) and my husband have been so incredibly Blessed to become parents to our daugter! We welcomed her into the world on August 11. :) I have been on maternity leave for the last six weeks and will be out for a little bit longer. I just wanted to quickly update the world on what is going on with YouthRoots this year.
