Happy Birthday Liam

I don't know where the time went - but my little baby boy is turning 8 today. Happy Happy Birthday Liam - we love you :)

--------------------------------------------

On another note, hubby dug out some old video tapes from when the kids were little - and all I can say is Holy Moly!! It is sooo awesome - I laughed, I cried and seriously wish I could turn back time. They were so little and so cute and so darn funny!! If you have some videotapes - get them out and watch them again! Great entertainment for the whole family.

Once I have your sign up, I will give you more instructions as to what size pictures you will need to bring. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
