HA! I think you're the first person I'm not related to that has linked to my blog. Thanks!! :-) You've done sooo much - you should create a list of things you want to accomplish. See mightgirl.com for inspiration.

oops, mightygirl.com

Dear Bug: You've held a baby lamb (actually you wrapped your arms around a baby lamb and buried your face in it's neck to give it a kiss) when you were 4 at the farm where we bought milk. No whale watching but you've petted a dolphin. ;-) Love you, Mom.

Oops, you've also had your picture in the newspaper...for being in the youngest troop to have a Brownie "fly up" and later at a Pop Warner game in the Keys as a cheerleader. So now we need to figure out how to get to Russia, China, Norway and Jerusalem...
