ReplyDeleteHope you have a good day!
Happy birthday Miss! Reading this post, I actually remember some of these things! Like when Kristi and Kalli were born, of course the ALL class, when you guys moved in to your house (we moved in about 1 month before you), and I don't remember you being smashed by Faulk, but that sounds traumatizing! This was fun to read, it brought back a lot of memories!!
