Oh, bestill my heart! You guys remembered me! You really DO love me!

Everything has been going fine around here. Addisyn is doing great, getting tall. We just got her ears pierced yesterday which was a big to-do. She talks like a five year old, complete sentences with correct use of pronouns and everything. She even corrected dh's english the other day (I try all the time, see if he listens to the two year old).

Debbie, a moderator? I see you crossed over to the dark side. (just kidding, mods!)

I'll try to post pictures in a sec. Thanks for asking and its nice to hear from y'all too!

Hi Mandy - glad to "see" you around again. Your posts were so comical - I miss that! How did your first year of teaching go? Love the blog name - my dad often referred us six kids as his "six pack". Take care!
