Wow! Quite a list! Congratulations on your 100th post. :)
what beautiful little girls. we have a 6 month old baby girl. being a Dad is the greatest thing ever!
I like your list. I am sad that Kristi hasn't been to Banff. Mike and I went last year and LOVED it!
I laughed quite a bit when I read your comment on our latest blog entry. (It's all wishful thinking, I am sure:)
"Two days before we got engaged we were hit by a semi on I-15. We spun off the road, rolled 2.5 times, but were fine. The semi never stopped." .... UM, HELLO! THAT IS CRAZY!! Lucky you guys were ok! I got in a horrific accident on I-15 once too, only rolled once, but, it was in the air, hahaha. I also, was mostly unharmed.
