PS ~ I wish I'd had a blog when Sophie was small. Of course, I was too busy working and probably didn't even know what a blog was! But I'd love to have a record like this of my thoughts and observations, etc. on her babyhood. Oh how I wish! She was the best and easiest baby. So precious....
Dear Audrey,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. How nice to think that she can read this one day!
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy those precious little girls. I tell you that, but I can see that you truly do!
