I have been trying to pack up our apartment and do big cleaning items this week so that next week will be less insane and exhausting. Yesterday I was about to box up the iron when I remembered that Andrew and I talked about me making a case for some of the spade bits he…

AdaLyn
It was such a sweet experience to spend a few hours with this precious girl and her family. AdaLyn was a great sport as her mom dressed her in the same skirt her big sister wore and wrapped her in blankets made by her grandma and other relatives. Thanks for welcoming me into your home…
