Fun with the Cristofaros

God brought a special family into my life when we moved to Arkansas. Not only a much-needed friend to Rayna, but a much-needed friend to ME as well!

Summer Memories

Summer memories in Georgia have always been special; but, after moving away, the new moments are even more precious and meaningful. As always, Rayna and her dear friend spent as much time together as possible!  (Here’s a video with some pictures from almost 5 years ago!) Squeezing in a quick-trip to the lake after church!...
