#24 is my favorite b/c I think about that often! I miss my roomies!
ditto to what alexis said!
My favorite is number 68. I like having the opportunity to be with you, Scott, and Avery. I love watching your lives bloom with success and flower open to a bright future. I love watching you as parents and listening to Avery's new adventures, language, and discoveries. I like how we grow and move through life together as family, inseparable in the heart.
So glad you did this. We miss you guys so much! I literally laughed out loud at the cat doing gymnastics. I am still laughing!
I had braces twice too! Funny the things you have in common with people that you would never know if you hadn't done this. Oh and I definitely miss Edmond too!
