Kayaking, hiking and Wicked Tuna Kayaking, hiking and Wicked Tuna pretty much sums up our Saturday.  The forecast for today was cold but sunny.  We had big plans to get in lots of outdoor activity and then Gabe woke up not feeling well.  🙁  We had a little Saturday morning TV on and quickly got […]

2020 Senior Rep Emmy Meet Emmy!  Emmy is a sweet bundle of energy, poise and grace.  Honestly, she moves with the poise and grace of a princess, and it just comes naturally.  Her mom shared that she was that way even as a toddler.  Definitely a bit jealous over here, since I’m not half that […]
