Free Range on Fairview

Burr I don't even want to go outside today because it's 19 degrees right now. Poor kids had to go to school,  no snow days here. He even switched to a normal sized back pack so he can bring his snow suit to school for recess time. Danielle has driven to school and back home which is a little nerve racking but she's doing good and the practice is good for her.

He can also roll from his tummy to his back either way and can roll from one side to the other but not from his back to his tummy, yet.
