I’m being totally self indulgent today and posting a bunch of pictures. I took well over a hundred last week when I was visiting Kathryn and her family in Charlotte but don’t worry, I’m not putting that many up! I enjoyed my time there just hanging out with them, shopping a bit and playing with […]
