Happy birthday to my sweet, sassy, brilliant, beautiful, hilarious Macy. What would I do without you? Probably lose my mind, that’s what. (Bennett ran to find her at a school assembly) (She’s the unofficial family/blog photographer. I think she “gets” shooting in manual more than I do.) God knew I needed you, even if […]
