now. Still waiting on his mother and brother though, as usual. lol

I got to cut the umbilical cord on my oldest, he's the 'son' I never had. We have a blast and still play Chutes and Ladders.

My daughter runs a free clinic in a small city. She has come so far!

Think triple chocolate cheesecake with triple chocolate ganache on top... Gee, hopes she gets here soon, hate to cut the cake without her!
