Vacation
You can see some of the highlights from our vacation here. We had a really good time, it was very relaxing and fun, and it was just plain nice to get away from day to day life for a little while!
We, finally, made it over to my brother and sister in law’s last night and got to meet our little neice, Kaitlyn. She’s so tiny, at 7 lbs 11 ounces she’s very small compared to the rest of the boy McBride babies. (I was 10 and a half pounds, which is just average for my…
Much as Tracie mentioned in the last Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse of 2010, I’m not much for making New Year’s resolutions. On the other hand, I find birthdays, and new year’s, to be a good time to reflect on what’s going on, and check in to make sure I’m making progress in the areas…
