Here’s a few of my favorites of the very new Ellie Jean. Goodness, I love her already. Thanks to Anna & Travis for giving me another friend.   Tiny everything.

While in Chadron this weekend, I met baby Hunter. Needless to say, it didn’t take long at all for me to become smitten with him and his welcoming parents. And Kayley, their beautiful black lab, who could see me coming from a mile away. It’s hard to resist throwing a ball to someone who waits […]

I met Megan when I first moved to Hill City my sophomore year of high school. I didn’t know her well, but she stood out to me then because she was just plain nice. To everyone. All the time.  Needless to say, I was thrilled when she emailed and asked if I’d be able to […]
