Liam is 6 Months Old.

Let's pretend that this picture was taken on June 20th. I have this theme of taking Liam's picture with the monkey each month, but when Liam moved in to my house, they packed the monkey. 

I went on strike. We solved the strike with a trip to Aunt Beth's store (the home of more monkeys) and took his picture. The store made for a cute background anyway. 

Meredith is 20!

July 6th, 2008, Meredith turned 20 years old.  

That's a lot of candles and a lot of love. Meredith's first birthday was three days after my son Jackie died.  She and her brother Jordan have been a major part of my sanity the last 19 years.  Happy Birthday Meredith.

Chris made her a vegan cake with a strawberry vegan buttercream frosting.  It was yummy.

Meredith, about to blow out the candles.
