I told this story soon after it happened but now, five years later, it also qualifies to be a “Throwback Thursday” post as well. At the time, we were at Shea’s parents’ campsite getting ready for supper and no one was paying much attention to Sasha in the camper as people bustled in and out. […]
Shea and I had been tossing around the idea of upgrading to a bigger camper for a couple years but Covid sort of forced our hand this year.

Hard to believe this toddler will be a teenager next week. (Still as messy though!) 😉
Happy Mother’s Day to the best wife I’ve ever had… I don’t know how you put up with me (er, yes I do!)
