Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 What great news ! I'm so happy for you guys to be finished with those trips. What a tough guy your husband is, LOL! I'm glad they didn't get any money from him and that it ended there. I hope you'll try and post pictures again when is being more cooperative. I'd love to see the article when it comes out too. In our files section there is a folder for them, so let us know if you're able to add it! , mom to Hannah, DOCgrad Cape Cod, Ma http://hannahsnoggin.typepad.com/hannahs_noggin/ > > > Just wanted to give you an update…..Angelina is now officially > a helmet grad!!!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 ...congratulations to you and Angelina! I'm so glad to hear that she is a graduate. Not so glad to hear about your dh's mugging. But he sounds awesome, the way he popped him one! Go Hubby! Anyway, sounds like she is growing by leaps and bounds, wait till she figures out that walking is right there in front of her and all she has to do is take the step. Boy are you in for it then. Please let us know when Lina gets to be in the paper. I would love to see it. Becky ('s mom) in Pgh, PA > > > Just wanted to give you an update…..Angelina is now officially > a helmet grad!!!
