A couple Sundays ago Max and Elle made crepes for breakfast. Yes, full-on made-from-scratch crepes. And I never set foot in the kitchen. They were really good too. Then Lucy woke up with a low-grade fever, and Max volunteered to stay home from Stake Conference and play with her. The deal was that whoever stayed…
There are a few things I am LOVING right now. I love to watch Max with his little sisters. And when I do, I feel like never in a million years could there be a better big brother.I love my bike. A couple years ago I inherited it from my sister. My other sister (who…
