Eden returned to HEavenly Father last July 5th at 4.5 months old and Bela took all of my breast milk that Eden was never able to have. We love that family and Avery and I always say that Eden and Bela are friends from way back. <br />I just wanted to say how kind of you to honor Avery because it is a long road and she deserves a treat. She has been so good to me and our family and I know this meant so much to her.<br />I just came upon your blog and I don't know but my girls call me the "meanest mom ever" every day too. It's a privilege I guess.<br /><br />KeisaThe Ridgway Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643186231322346483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-78597594354316359302009-05-05T23:07:00.000-04:002009-05-05T23:07:00.000-04:00The Orange Elephant suggestion made me laugh outlo...The Orange Elephant suggestion made me laugh outloud.

Anyway, my husband recently joined a church softball league, and when he received his burgundy t-shirt with the yellow, cursive "Looking to Score" team name blazoned across the front, there was considerable whining. I chuckled while reading, realizing his behavior was comparable to a bunch of 6-year-old girls.Ashley B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07031922297437798571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-12276569140811405372009-05-05T15:15:00.000-04:002009-05-05T15:15:00.000-04:00My daughter's soccer team wound up with orange uni...My daughter's soccer team wound up with orange uniforms too and they called themselves The Orange Dinosaurs.
