My mother in law took photos on Christmas Eve and just gave me this one last week. When I looked at it I laughed out loud. Little Miss Throwsafit’s cousin Maddie is posing in a very elegant and lady-like manner and there’s LMT with her big personality for all to see. The acorn doesn’t fall [...]

Should I be worried?
Little Miss Throwsafit loves to play with her dolls and My Little Ponies but she also has a real interest in dinosaurs, which I’m sure she picked up from her big brother. When she plays with the toy dinosaurs, though, she loves to make the big ones eat the littler ones, like this (click to [...]

George Orwell wrote that very powerful and truthful statement, which was personified in my nephew Ryan, who yesterday took the military oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. My sister-in-law took some photos and I highly recommend you head on over and read her post. But I warn you. It has a powerful [...]
