Cooking Class at my house 1-11-07. I don't know how to cook, so Kelli and Heidi (the experts) are teaching Cindy and I. We made Chili and corn bread.

My Mom has pretty much been against the adoption from the start. However, she was kind enough to make these 2 blankets for McKenna! I really appreciate all of the hard work she put into these!

Thanks, Mom!!!!

I LOVE YOU, DEARLY!!!!

I had scanned a whole bunch of old pictures at the photo shop. This was from a whole sheet of left over 1st grade pictures. (I guess I should've cut 1 out and just scanned that, but instead, I just scanned the whole sheet). I was in 1st grade around 1972-1973.
