Time flies by when you're having fun or you're so busy that everything else stands still.    Katie has been a real blessing and has kept us young.  I was getting so old that it was hard to stand up off the floor.  Now it's less of a problem.  Now I have these aches and pains due to old age.  Nooooooo!

Katie loves the beach, and loves hiking, and loves books and lego and duplo and magnet tiles.  For myself I love peace and quiet.  It's something I don't have, and I find it priceless when I do.
