Making Memories

We are always thankful for the time that we have with our adult children but making memories with grand-babies is indescribable. Jared and I recently had the utmost joy in making memories again in our home with our grand-daughter, Ariah, and her mama, as her daddy was out of state for some reserve training. Although […]
