Sit down Miss Mel...She did this in the shopping cart at Kroger the other day. I had my back turned and she somehow wiggled out of the safety belt and stood up in the seat! This girl keeps me on my toes!!;0)

During the "big party" I had to let my guard down and hand the camera over to Brad's sister...sigh... That was a big step for me, but I wanted to be in the pix. She did a great job and took a TON of pix. Thanks Lauren!
I wanted to make a collage on poster board with different pix of Mel through the last year and I was worried that I didn't have very many of her. I had enough for three posters!!! That made me happy because I thought she was neglected from having her picture taken.
