one small step
i meant to post about this last week when it actually happened. but, my plans often get thwarted by these tiny needy people that are constantly hovering around me. lately, anna has upgraded from cruising along stationary objects to using a ride on toy to gain access to all open floor space. often with the […]
warm days

we’ve been getting quite a few warm days here lately. and we’ve been taking advantage, getting outside as much as we can. for walks, to the park, or even just sitting in the hard, crunchy, mostly dormant grass in the front yard.
