Rocky Mountain High

Bryan and Rachel sort of pulled a fast one on me.  I say sort of because Rachel filled me in as soon as Bryan gave her the details.  They planned a Spring Break trip to Colorado!  Bryan and Rachel had been talking a lot about winter sports and skiing, so there was a lot of…

Happy

I thought that I would share some adorable video of Sarah.  Last week Sarah was in the best mood!  It seemed like she was just one little roll-polly of joy! I know that’s very bragy-bragy but it’s true 🙂 This video was recorded on a Saturday, and it might have been the first or second…
