Edric’s 12 Package

I sent Edric’s package at the end of November but because he visited the agency a few days before the end of the month he won’t actually get it until he goes in this month. We were finally able to include the last two pieces to his tool set. He now has a complete set! […]

Mommy and Me Gymnastics

On Thursday mornings you can find me and Caedmon in the van headed to “nastics” as he calls it. On the way I often ask him “Caedmon, what are we going to do at gymnastics today?” To which he replies in his 2 year old voice “ummm, go down slide, do butterfly and jump in […]
