She’s Keeping Me From Leaving The House Looking Like I’m Homeless
Nikki is still very much a fashionista. She puts tons of thoughts into what she wears and she rarely leaves the house anymore without some sort of accessory to accentuate her outfit.

As legend has it, Donnie won a medal in 1st grade from doing the mile in 7 minutes plus some. Nikki had never run a mile straight before yesterday, but we were pretty confident she could do it. Wes went first,... Read More
