Juney turned one on Thursday, and they had a poster for her at school. We visited Wren’s new monument and went to the mall and had some Tutti Frutti, and had a little party on Saturday! After the party we visited Stephani, Kyle, Gavin, and Rudy’s new house in Rancho Palos Verdes…. Your browser does […]
