You're so funny, Jodi. There isn't a deadline on participating. :) You're free to add your link whenever! Great photos this week. Your kids are so beautiful!! I can't wait until Levi can be part of a book club. I also love the idea of going away for a weekend with individual kids at a certain age. I think we are going to try that. Thanks for sharing, as always!
