If I could bring back the cuddling stage…

I’m Glad Gracie’s Out For Christmas Break!
It’s honestly not because I don’t want to get up early for awhile, although that is a plus. We attend a small school. I feel like Gracie is totally safe at Marmaduke. All doors are locked and you have to be buzzed in by the office. The teachers are the most caring, loving group of […]
