Weekend Recap
We took advantage of the rain Friday night and went out to eat for my mom’s birthday, juuuuuust in case the fellas would be in the field on her actual birthday the following day. Spoiler alert: it rained Friday AND Saturday, so we celebrated her both days. But we figured she deserves it. Grace started Read More
