Prayin’ Up Our Babies
Didn’t I just take this picture? Our end-of-the-year school picnic seems only days ago. Summer? Are we so close to saying goodbye? Since this picture we have beached it, parked it, picnicked it, pooled it, swam it, slid it, slept in, stayed up, picked beans, made smores, and watched Gabby win the Gold. (Man I … Continue reading
