Let’s Get This Party Started (Again)
Hello friends, Summer is over (sob), and we are back in the swing of things over here. Lots of new routines for us this year, as we each plan to take up at least one leisure activity: art classes for Kieran and me, music for Lucas and Kieran, and possibly […]
Hello July | First Day of Vacation
