the week in review

we started a new job this week. watching cousins. we hope they love it as much as we do. we are having fun exploring st. paul in the afternoons.


animal and plant rescuing/ bird exploring. we also went to menards where jacob did most of the bird exploring and plant rescuing and made about 67 people smile.
