Kevin and I split the eggs benedict and italian toast (which is ...

Our Weekend…

Our Weekend…
I love weekends. It means two straight days with Harper and my hubs. After a long workweek, I cherish that family time and enjoy the relaxation.

She sent me a note telling me she thought she had seen me at the hospital (I was pregnant at the time and seeing my OB) and that she had a baby in the NICU there.
