Well, 13 years and we stayed on the 13th floor of the Omni on our wedding night. ;o) Special number for us ;o). What was even a more special for both of us was to hear our little Katie up and about the morning of our Anniversary … whistling, tip-toeing, and secretly opening and closing…

So Katie (6) and Jackie (3.75) had a Dentist appointment a few days ago and it’s interestingly cute how it all turned out. Katie was mortified at even the idea of going … she had tons of tartar on the bottom two teeth because they were new and the two teeth next to the two…
