It was not unlike below, but not [...] john -- November 1st, 2009Maia’s third Halloween has come and gone. Grandma Becky made a truly beautiful princess dress for her (thank you!).

And she hoists up Maia from the chair and [...] valerie -- September 19th, 2009I made pancakes for dinner last night, always a crowd pleaser on a Friday night. Well, almost always.

After looking at her, [...] john -- August 9th, 2009This evening, Valerie was promising gooey chocolate cakes to the twins for their birthday.
