Friday Photo Flashback

Last week, I posted a picture of me in my grandma's backyard playing catch with my dad. The more I thought about my grandma's backyard, I was reminded of her back patio.

I would say that they are just as fun for us to read as they are for Ella to listen to! This week, Sam was … Continue reading Square Dancing … in Gym Class? →
