The Marvelous Life of a Military Wife
This morning we woke to the first snow of the season. What a beautiful surprise! It's been so long since I've seen snow as early as November and I am loving every minute of it! So is my outdoor lover Layla, who ran outside as soon as she threw on some clothes. Lilly, not so [...]
