Happy Easter!!!

Happy Belated Easter to All! These were our Easter pics... We were doing well to get out the door and get to church on time, so the pics weren't stellar! LOL

It is hard to see, but she has on my dress from my baby pics when I was 14 days old. Hers was too big for her so I had a backup. :)

Learning to play

I love my Daddy!
Daddy is impressed at how I can hold my head up on my own.
Wow, I wish I knew what they were saying to me... sounds like "yada, yada, yada!"


Ready for bed last night. I like the music!

If you are surprised when you look at these figures, so was I. These figures mean that the loss from the two latest conflicts in the Middle East are LESS than the loss of military personnel during Bill Clinton's presidency; when America wasn't even involved in a war!

It surprised me too, so I went on line to find out what military actions we were in during Clinton 's presidency. Here is a web site I found that lists out those conflicts. (not war)
