Friday Goodness!
It's been a long time since I've done a Friday Goodness, but I do have some things I'm pretty stoked about today. Here we go!

I also sometimes can't believe I have managed to get him to this point with no major terrifying incidents. (There's still time, I know.) Tomorrow Jake starts… Continue reading how fast can you count
