Cute post Natalie. I loved learning more about your family! Our families have a lot in common!

Sher said...

So fun to read about everyone - they each have their own cute little personality! What's the story about Ava being on the news??

That a really fun post! I feel the same way about the carpool lane!
Good job coming up with all those!

Oh yeah, could you send me your email address? sririe99@gmail.com

Oh, Ava wasn't on the news. But, one day I ran into Dan Rascon at Wingers in Draper, and he told me how beautiful he thought Ava was. Then, a few days later, I was at the checkout lane at the Bountiful Costco, and Michelle King was behind me. She commented on what a pretty baby she thought Ava was. It was just funny to have two Channel 2 news anchors complement my baby within a few days of each other!

I loved your 100 things. They were great! Can I just say that I really think it is funny how many things we actually have in common. It's like we're related or something. . .

I resent the loudness comment. I was 4 of 5...how else was I to be heard?
