Nicki And Adam's Family Blog

The State Legislature opened our state back up about a week ago now. They didn't phase anything in. Some bars were packed.

It snowed (yuck), but we spent the day indoors being with each other and having a nice time overall.  Below are some pics of my "mother figures" taken at various times.
