a grandkids weekend
Dan and Alicia had something going on Saturday and asked us to babysit. We were hoping to go to the lake, and they agreed we could taken them with us. That little girl p.j. loves to party with her cousins, so she came too. We had a great time. They were up early, but their

a fast week
It went by so quick. It was a good week, lots of preschool, two successful real estate closings, a meeting with a flooring guy, and all good. We’re getting ready for our new little baby: This girl is about to become a big sister. And this one is a new preschooler and loving it. See
