He is a lucky boy, as his Daddy just ran … [Read more...]

Many moms are also the family photographer. Either they forget to ask someone to snap a shot with them in it, or … [Read more...]

It’s like they know they are safer there and they all huddle together. The balls of fur seem to come from out of nowhere and often get missed by the kids when they are sweeping. I've been known to day dream about life 100 years from now. … [Read more...]
