that's funny, Riker had one IN his ear yesterday! I had to get Mark to take it out, those things give me the creeps!

To the one who got dry heaves: I apologize for your horrible morning experience due to this photo. It was not at all my intention to cause such a severe reaction to anyone! ;)

Ugh, I hate ticks :( Noah has been fortunate so far, but T has so much hair, they love to hide out...we've probably encountered at least 5 already this year...and don't even get me started on my poor puppies..even WITH a flea/tick collar, they find their way in there somehow...ICK!!!

Hi Heather, I have been reading your blog for sometime now so I thought I would introduce myself. If you send me your email address, I can add you to my blog so that you can check me out as well. I enjoy reading what you have to say. BTW I am a very good friend of Kristy and Sabrina Friesen.

eew! I am so terrified of me or one of the kids getting one - I seriously don't think I'd be brave enough to take it off (I know, bad parenting:) Every time we've been under trees or in longer grass, I am paranoid about every little itch or feeling.
