Elijah Cole just celebrated his ‘8th’ birthday last week! Happy Birthday E… we love you!!! And what a handsome boy you are! Notice anything ‘missing’ in this picture? How about two teeth??? Yes, it took almost 8 years for our E to finally lose one of his baby teeth. It turns out he lost two […]
Staycation Day 6 – All Good Things Must End…
