Screenshot of Phone Call with Jeremy and Quinn (2+years old) Nesting Turtle in Our Yard in Denton, Texas Denton, Texas Sunset from Our Airbnb on a Mini-Ranch Saturday. 10.   Up early.

We talk and catch up on what is happening with them. Quinn has started going to a day care while Andrea is working. On Fridays Quinn doesn’t go to...
