Family & Kids

I woke up on Saturday to the sound of wind battering against the windows. Thankfully, when I checked the weather, it was supposed to die down a bit by the afternoon, but it was still chilly. Carleen scoped out this location and I love the options we had, blocking as much of the wind as […]
