I love this pic! Thanks to one of our sons for sending this one. Our granddaughter was delighted to find this fat frog in their yard. 🙂 Kamryn is our youngest grandchild of 15 (18 including 3 more through marriage), and we have 8 great-grandchildren younger than her. And we have two more grandkids getting married in October and November of this year. 🙂 How time flies!
