Let’s Celebrate!

Yesterday, February 6th was my daughter’s 2 year and 9 month birthday.  It was also our first outing without a diaper so far from home.   I thought we should do something fun!   About a block away from our old apartment is a riding stable and facility.  We pass the stable whenever we visit my sister [...]
