On Sunday we celebrated the adoption at our local kiddle park. After we all had our way with the bagels, I noticed the lil’ monkey had drifted away. This is where I found her. Staring at the swing, trusting, trusting, that someone would come and do right by her. No telling [...]

You know, that "selfish note" is really very helpful.

    • Vikki commented on I heart Pride saying That picture is fabulous! I posted the few pics I took at Pride on my blog. I wish that I had taken more but it's hard when you are wrangling the kids through crowds...as you well know.
