It seems summer has almost disappeared (way too early!), and the plight of both Narnia and Arendelle await us…always winter, eternally frozen. Or so it will seem by January. But the seasons aren’t the only things coming and going. Around here, we’re racing past some monumental milestones. We’ve endured the long haul from diapers to deodorant.
