Calendar Cutie
Who’s that peeping out of the playhouse? My gorgeous boy, who’s about to become 7 tomorrow. Many of you have known him since he was 4, others even longer. I love this photo, it reminds me of a happy morning playing at our friend Jo’s. It reminds me of summer and how quickly seasons turn and your little boy is no longer so little anymore. Happy birthday, Ezra!
