Imagination play in the making…this is probably the most intelligent conversation I’ve heard between the Hongzeff Boys (Josh is 5, Matthew is 4) thus far: Matty: Thank you Dr. Josh for putting a bandaid on my fireman who got hurt in the giant fire! Josh: You know, I’m not only...
Grateful for this life: *For winning the lottery when it came to parental units who taught me what love is in every sense of the word. They are the epitome of rad. *For having a boy who I can laugh with, have diva like shouting matches with and just talk...
