In addition to the regular stuff Javi has […]

So today was a productive day. Jenny finished the current round of edits for book number two of the Hurricane Chronicles while the kiddos and Luke mostly focused on school and chores.

We finally got to meet our friends’ little boy. We are were very excited to welcome him into the world. They came to us so Jenny and the kids hung out with friends while Luke came and went at intervals. There were a few errands Luke needed to run, but also it was a chance
