Baby Comb-Over

Most babies rub hair off the back of their heads. They lay down a lot so it's natural that they would do this. Normally this is not a big deal and usually not even that noticeable. On a girl with as much hair as Ava however a bald spot is really obvious! I have to give her a baby comb-over in order to cover it up. And of course it keeps getting worse. Until she can sit up there is nothing I can do to stop it. Oh well. She's cute no matter what!

FINE - AH - LEE

I hate to be considered one of those wives that "nags" all the time, but I have to say that this time it finally paid off. After the millionth time of me bugging, and after my sister-in-law said "not having the internet is like having a phone with a cord", Chris finally agreed to get internet access at our house. YAH!! And now that I've written this blog he can't go back on his word! hehe. So as soon as we get it set up you can expect a lot more action to be happening on this blog!

As Lorie put it, welcome to the 21st century!

Grandpa's B.S

My Grandpa has been telling stories for as long as I can remember. As a kid my brothers and sisters and my cousins and I would all gather around and listen to his stories. Even as an adult I enjoy hearing his stories. Even the ones I've heard before. No one can tell a story like he can.
My favorite thing my grandpa did was whenver he would tell a story about when he was a kid he would always say "when I was a little girl"....
With encouragement from family he has written a book. It's about his life but written with all of his stories included. Most are humorous but there are others that are serious. He is in the process of having it edited but he currently has the first 6 chapters on his web page. In reading the first chapter I finally discovered why he said "when I was a little girl". If you like to read and want to hear some very entertaining stories I recommend his book. The link to his book is in my friends and family. Grandpa's B.S. (best stories). Enjoy!
