I love it! What a good idea! I'm going to do that for Dave for Father's Day! Happy Birthday!
How adorable. I love their perception of how tall you are, among other things. You really are a great mom and you're making a huge difference in their lives. I wish we lived closer. I'll keep praying that Isaac gets a job, and throw in that I really wouldn't mind if it were in Denver. :)
Oooh, oooh! Heidi, we'll pray for the same. That would be awesome!
Happy Birthday! I loved reading all the sweet things the kids said about you. What a clever idea for Jesse to have...loved it!
