September 22, One of My Favorite Days

Today my sweet, precious baby boys are 14 and 15 years old. How that could possibly be possible, I’m not really sure. I don’t feel but about 17, myself. Hmm… Here they are in their (almost) full marching uniforms, sans hats. (I’ll get that ‘hat pic’ for you soon, Mom! I keep trying to catch [...]

It Wasn’t The Shoes! :-(

Isn’t that hysterical? A good friend of my other son was in it last year, and although we didn’t go (said son doesn’t like to inform me of much..hrmph…), the pictures were a SCREAM! His mother actually took him to some [...]
