Breezy Girl – Age 5
Today was our Breezy girl’s 5th birthday. Oh, how we love this creative, imaginative child. She is both serious as can be but yet manages to say the funniest things. She loves all things horses, ponies, and seahorses, and can swing or slide all day. She also loves puzzles and shapes and is fascinated by […]
