Say What?!?

I really try to limit blogging about my children to some general highlights.  I figure that they deserve some privacy and in a small town, anything I put on my blog is fair game.  Moms can be embarrassing enough in our natural state, but throw in a computer and an audience and we are a child's worst nightmare.

An hour later, my family met to watch the Homecoming parade together.  "Grandma!  Grandpa!" exclaimed my nameless child, "If Jorden doesn't have the baby by Friday, they are going to erase her memory!"
