Hello there:
wow! the pictures are wonderful! I am sorry I haven't put comments on your page lately, I miss visiting it, but I haven't been on the computer for a while because my computer is broken :(
I loved Finley's hair, it was getting so long and exqusitlly pretty!
I went to the eye doctor yesterday and they took pictures of my retina's with a special machine called the Optos! I saw all of the cry otherapy scars, they were green dots. I have a lot in there, but it was amazing that I was able to see them so clearly with the machine. I go back in June of this year for another scan. I am so glad to know you all and I pray the race for Finley in April goes the best it can! Please tell your kids I say hi and tell Finley from me she is so pretty. I look forward to reading your blog again soon and have a great week to you and your family!
