MUSINGS ON LIFE AND WRITING WITH SARAH BUCKLEITNER
What a wild three months, full of moving preparation, colds, our first ever camping trip as a family of four, cute baby goats and stormy toddler moods.

This kid's language is blossoming, and he cracks us up daily with the funny ways he puts concepts and words together.
