All the skating places around here are mostly teenage hangouts and if there are adults, it's because they are teaching their little kids. I think it'd look creepy if Brian and I went skating! I need to find one of those 21 and over nights Jamy mentioned. Either that or Aiden needs to get off his ass and learn to stand up so we can take him skating!

I've never played and sadly, I don't know enough girls to even get something like this going... but I always see this pink Bunco set when I go to Target and it looks so pretty that I totally want to buy it even though I have no use for it! Sounds like fun though!

I have nothing really major to add, but I didn't want to read and run. I do hope everything works out! Try not to worry about it too much and just take it easy (believe me, I know this is easier said than done). Good luck with everything.

Welcome! Although pp stole my "why are you a reluctant beach bride" question? Do you not want to be a bride, or a beach bride?

Ahh, she's a little angel. She's adorable, Christine!

I don't care as long as it doesn't involve naked girls.

That's crazy! She has gotten so big though!

Aww, I'm glad your mom is up and walking! I can understand how she would be self concsious about the pictures. She has time to make progress though and I hope it all works out! It would be terrible not to have her in your wedding pictures. I'm sure if she doesn't feel 100% though the photog can work around that right? Shoot her from the right side or something. She needs to be in your pictures!! My wedding pictures with my parents are my favorite. I want you guys to have that. Besides, hello, your mom is gorgeous! I bet she'll look great

I have no idea how she handles 6 children. She must not get to eat like ever. That's a handful. I bet they are gorgeous though! I love the name Vivienne. Not too sure about Knox though... Hmmm, I wonder if she intended to have all the boys names end in "X"?

EWWWW CREEPY Was his name Steve?! Haha. That totally sounds like my ex. He definitely had a "To Catch A Predator" vibe. The husband and I expect to see him on there one day.

Although I flirt with everyone, so I'd probably flirt with a female photog as well. I can definitely see how the element of sexiness would be heightened with a man behind the camera.

I still want to get these done one day! However, I had an ex who was one of those creepy male photographers, so that kind of made me iffy on going with a guy. But, when I get mine done, I want a more Maxim-ish type feel to the photos and most female BD photographers seem to have a more "soft" approach to the photos. They are more "pretty" whereas I sort of want a more mens mag feel.

Awesome! Yay for St Thomas Brides.

She is amazing!!! I just want to hug her and kiss her all over her little face. She's gorgeous, Susan.

It took me forever to figure out what BFW was! But I eventually got it Aww, I'm so happy for you! Yay!!!!!!!

LOVE it. We had a nice thread about last season! I hope to do that again. I need to get my BB convo fix.

He takes things very literally, huh? That's cute. Kids like that are the best, because they will take what you say literally and will basically shut you up when they point out that they are indeed following your rules exactly as you stated them. Ah, kids!

Happy Day!

I'm an organ donor, and I agree with Harty... DH is a paramedic and I'm pretty sure he's not checking licenses before deciding if he should give complete medical care or not. If what your nutritionist is saying is truth, sounds like she knows some shady dr's. Most of the docs I know are in favor of organ donation.

I'm a little late, but I hope all goes well. That's a fantastic picture. Your mom is beautiful. You all will be in my thoughts.

Oh wow. It's heartbreaking enough to have your baby in the NICU, but then this as well! I'd be freaked out too. But hopefully pp are right and this tightens things up. From what I gather, they aren't giving out the drug anymore right? I'm sure your little one will be fine Martha... but if you still don't feel good about having your baby there, any way you can switch hospitals?

I'm mailing mine out tomorrow. PROMISE!

Playing cards. Water guns. Mini footballs. Ummm... I'll have to come back to this.

They turned out amazing!!! You have awesome hair by the way.

What a nice little getaway. It's always nice to take mini vacations! Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks lovely!
