Well- somehow I've gotten waaay behind in blogging. As I write this we are currently in the middle of a world wide pandemic, we are about to start our ninth week out of school and life is just crazy! So...what better time than to try to catch up on the blog?!
2019 was what I would refer to as a normal year for our family and normal can be so so good! Nothing wild or crazy but just ordinary every day moments. Here are a few of the highlights!
