Hello
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007“Hello” ~ Annie

Friday, August 24th, 2007The kids and I have had a little cold for 2 days now. Today I woke up feeling better and so did they so we set out on our big adventure, or “abenture” as they call it.

Then we drove [...]

Elizabeth Irene Brown
Saturday, August 18th, 2007Would have been 5 years old today. I miss her and cannot imagine who she would be.
