A beautiful day for a visit to the park
We started our day with breakfast followed by a visit to the local Peet’s Coffee. By 10 am, with the sun in our faces, we headed to the park. [st]
Happy birthday, Christopher

Another positive note – both boys wear size 5 diapers, which means we only need [...]
