i thought for a second that jael had on high heels in the church pew picture. that was almost awesome.
Are you going to put all of them up on Picasa?
well, the otto kids are cute. i’m not so sure about the otto men.
I also thought your little lady had high heels on… sweet! Your kids are beautiful!
I received the apron and it’s splendid! Can’t wait to throw a party and wear it. The husband also thinks it’s awesome.
Thanks again!
What a beautiful family! You’re a blessed lady!
