Especially if you count the bickering… and the damage done by "birth order."... Maybe we think we won’t make the same mistakes twice.

The really amazing thing is that Dad and I wouldn’t change a thing."<BR/><BR/>BTW, Chuck, love what I see, and have added it to my blogroll. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931579729864611467.post-59121346495249687622008-07-10T09:57:00.000-07:002008-07-10T09:57:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing that Chuck.

While we have only had her for months and will be loosing her to her new family, it has certainly changed my outlook in life forever. Blessings to you and your wonderful family.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404578054102245724noreply@blogger.com
