Have I told you about our new puppy, Rama?

From Rama

The “Big Trip”

Every year, my family gathers somewhere and spends a week together. My mom and dad, my brother, his wife and four daughters, and my household.

How I Spent My Weekend

We bought a home just over a year ago and are finally getting around to making it “ours”.  Our first project was to paint the boys’ bedroom.  Logan loves color and had very strong opinions about wanting a dark blue room, we were able to get his buy in to add some green, using their [...]
