She Ain’t Heavy, She’s His Daughter

Last week the beautiful Colorado National Forest  was screamin’ our names and we just had to go. I lined all our current kids {minus Autumn who had to work} from oldest to youngest {left to right}.  Emma, Graham, S, L, Liberty, A, Jubilee, Isaiah, Elizabeth and Elijah.     Can’t ya’ just picture Ruby Grace in…
