First Taste

This may be the first time she tasted coffee. It’s definitely the first time she’s tasting strong Greek coffee. I love capturing everyday moments, but I don’t do it often enough. I’m so glad to see these as I flip through previous years’ pictures on my external. They’re really what the good memories are madeContinue reading “First Taste”
