Good news from the Hansen household! There’s going to be a new addition. Roman Frederick will be Everett’s little brother and his ETA is August 28th. Now that I’m of ‘Advanced Maternal Age’ things are a little more achey and I’m a little slower, but I’m so happy and feel very blessed to be able […]
