I Get It Now

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I see…McKenna was just waiting for three very auspicious things before she would poop:
1-13 days to pass
2-Halloween
3-to see a fox in the woods

New Guest House and No Poopy?

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

We bought a new guest house:

The whole family (Troy, McKenna, Sazi, and me) hiked up to our “special spot” in the Dry […]

I Got Cocky
