Works For Me Wednesday 2008-07-16 17:32:00 I don't know 'bout y'all but ever since we bought our digital camera for my daughter's birth 5 years ago we haven't printed out a picture since! All our photos are stored on the computer which kinda makes me sad since I love to flip through photo albums. Since we've come home from vacation I've really wanted to start printing out photos again...and what do you know? Walgreens is having a roc Read more:Works

You just never know 2008-07-14 05:58:00 July 3rd has come and gone...for most it is just another day but for our family it is a day of remembrance. I've thought alot about the fact that it marks the 2nd anniversary of Chloe's accident. Even though I don't like remembering what happened, I think it's important to look back and give thanks to God for how He brought her through one of the most difficult circumstances of her life so far.
