It’s amazing watching Sara Ellen grow and develop. She already actively looks around. If Tim is holding her and walks away from me she can see and watch me from a distance. She also loves to look at herself and us in the mirror. It’s so …
I was reading back and remembered that Tim’s cousin’s wedding is also in August. I hope her’s and Sara’s wedding dates are spaced well apart so we don’t have to miss an Altman Family gathering.
