veggiegirl--Love the gallery of Ella! Her hair is getting so long. We wonder how long Devin's hair would be if we didn't it shave it twice already.

momtosons--Oh, seeing such a precious tiny newborn makes we want to go for adoption #2 now.

chrisandarron--We bought leather couches and are thankful we did since Devin is a big spit-upper, but we sure don't like sticking to leather which is an everyday thing since it's hot year-round here.
