  • oooo! What do you think?!

    They just dropped off a 20 ft disposal container in the driveway of the house next to us. What do you think? Are they just going to gut it or tear it down? Either way, I’m game!

  • I love my neices!

    I returned home at 9:45 this evening after a long day and a long week to find two letters in my mailbox. One was an adorable drawing from Ryanna featuring the two of us surrounded by trees. The other was a card made by Capriel with 4 o’clock seeds gathered by Talia and Sabina. It…
