Growing Season: Ours Baby!
As you may have guessed from the title, our family has grown since my last post! Our son, Damari, arrived 3 months ago and we have been enjoying the shift in our family dynamic. As with any family, there will always be changes bringing home a new baby but there are also some factors to…
