Wordless Wednesday: Stairmaster Edition

Sunny Saturday fun

Jon and Sylvie had some special Saturday morning time together while I hit a couple of yard sales. Hooray for yard sale season!

As she’s a true Brousseau, it took her a while to see through her sleepy morning haze and realize that there were surprises in store. But [...]
