Sorry folks but life is speeding fast and I haven’t even been able to sit down and catch my breath until now. Here is a recap: Christmas – We had a nice quiet Christmas at home, opening… Continue reading Bienvenue en Belgique
Almost two weeks ago my baby boy turned 2. Joe and I still look at him everyday in awe that God gave us such a special gift. Tripp is so full of life and such a gentle soul. He has occasional 2 year old tantrums, which last about 2 min. at most but in my… Continue reading My Little Monkey
