I think we'll let it slide this time Kimmy

Paul, the Robin pictures are fantastic!!

[4 Dog Mother]

Angie, I can't figure out how to see your pictures either. The ones you posted were great but I do have to defend my granddogdaughter (Sadie) - she would never be willing to take part in any inappropriate behavior.


Paul - those robin pictures are wonderul! I forgot all about them and never did try to get any pics of them. Thanks for doing it for me.

Everyone's pictures are wonderul - what a great time we had!

[pitc9]

Wow Paul, you got some GREAT shots of those robins!

Karen, I'm glad you thought of me while you were passing Norwalk! I'll have to show you around the town one day!! I know it VERY well now!

Diana- I never once thought Sadie was that type of girl...doing that in public and all.

Wow... I'm not the last to upload pictures!
We'll be waiting Kimmy!

I'll go fix the link to my pictures now...

[shais_mom]

loved your pics Angie!
I am so glad you came, wish I could have talked iwth you more tho,
I must have been having a swiss cheese brain moment.
So sorry.
I hope you don't wait so long before coming back and the next time I hope you don't take such a scenic route, and I do hope you and Seirra enjoyed yourself!!!!! ( I apparently HOPE a lot) I talked with Gini on Monday and she just couldn't get over how gorgeous Sierra was!!

I was looking @ my alblums was it really 2003 since you've been there?
wow - I was thinking like 2 years not 4!!

[pitc9]

Staci - 2003... wow, that was waaaaay too long ago! I promise not to stay away for so long again!
Yes, Sierra and I enjoyed ourselves greatly! Can't wait to see you guys again!

I think Sierra had the most fun trying to figure just what Lucy was!!
Oh she was so funny! Maybe she thought it was a new squeaky toy!

[pitc9]

OMG.. I forgot I took a (short) video of Lucy!!
Make sure your volume is up!!
