We Had the Honor of Watching These Two One Day this Week
We were delighted when Diana (their mom) texted me to see if we were available for a few hours the next day. I checked our schedule, and yes, we were. 🙂 She had an appointment for their baby sister Sierra. Waylon looked at the camera, but Bennett preferred playing. These two are so much fun.
