Sounds so wonderful. For a mommy of a new-ish born, you are one busy lady!
Are you up for adding a couple of mornings at the little river at Randall with us? The boys were just saying that it's time to play there, they think it's the best place ever invented.
We've finally got all of our miles in for the run tomorrow... we'll see you there!
Yes!
I like that end of the park much more anyway.... and we have our miles, too, but Avery's been not wanting to walk anywhere since he has his chart all filled in. As if!
