Easter. As holidays go, there’s really not a less exciting one on the calendar. At least compared to how exciting it was when you were a kid. Then you have kids of your own and Easter becomes a little more fun. But only a little. Momma and I had a brief conversation the other day […]

By my best estimation, our little diva has had somewhere around 5,400 photos taken of her during her first 18 months.
