Y’all…

This beautiful, silly, clever kid. Oh, my heart. 😊
(Also, about ten minutes after this photo was taken, she broke Graham’s phone. LOL.)
Summer around here is watermelon season.

Merlin is the bouncer.

These two, y’all. They sure do keep us entertained. 😊
Y’all…

She is actually Merlin’s baby.
