Another weekend flew by just like that! On Friday night the boys have flag football games. Being able to play football outside every Friday night of the year is one of the many reasons we love Florida living! I will never take it for granted. Jake coaches the boys’ team and it has been so …
Around 4:30am this morning, I woke up to violent thunder and lightning. A severe thunderstorm was blowing through our neighborhood which caused our yippy dog to go CRAZY. I thought for sure all 4 kids would be woken up by thunder too. I peered to my left, and then to my right, because my husband and I …
