I'm sure this is all TMI. Oh, well. Feel free to share with me...

Not TMI I enjoyed it and was talking about you in my challenge!!! Loved the pics from your 10 year reunion...are we really that old already? We aren't going to be able to make it to mine...something came up and my parents can't watch the boys (it's a no kids allowed party)...anyways-Atlee looks just like you in his 9 month pictures...to cute!
