Today we took Grandpa to Gardens of the World, known to our kids as “the quiet park,” for a picnic lunch. It was a little hot to be comfortable, but the kids still seemed to enjoy showing Grandpa their favorite spots! Tommy even took a picture of me all by himself. He’s pretty excited whenever […]

The kids get a huge kick out of seeing younger siblings wear things that are much too big for them.

I forgot about these pictures until I cleared my camera card last night. Pretty glad to be able to eat dairy when Ray’s is nearby!
