How fun to hear from everyone...!!

I wasn't trying to say inclusion or self contained was better......just

giving an update of my Meghan!!

A Meghan funny.......last year her sister was going through a phase

when everyone else was more important to her than Meghan......totally didn't

spend time with her in any fun way....so I went in for a parent/teacher

conference for Meghan half way through the year and they had done this

booklet on their " family " ...Meghan had me very prominent and her dog and

her friends....and so I said funny isn't in here...the teacher about

fell over....she had NO idea Meghan had a sister!!!! )) I laughed so

hard......things are better this year...... is back to associating with

her family ...early teen has now grown into 15 y.o. teen!!!! )
