We’re gone. But before I get to all the new stuff going on I have to finish up some stuff from home. After we went to the ranch, Dave headed back to work and to take Max to basketball camp:…while the girls and I headed up to another friend’s cabin. It was just two other…
Summer is whizzing by faster than I can keep up. We are trying to keep up with swim/dive team, summer goals, doctor visits and what we like to call “cabin hopping” up in the mountains (we are lucky enough to have some great friends with great get-away places…thank you SO much guys!). I have a…
