so, i'm thinking grandma may have *yielded* and bought little noah his much coveted green geiko galoshes....;)

this is a piece i did last year for a story called "the most boring birthday in the universe" for stories for children magazine. i thought it was a good example of *yielding*....in a cute way of course;)

....and so my heart is so sad today :(

as most of you know i am the biggest peyton manning fan there is....and it's so sad to see the colts cut him loose today. after 14 years of greatness! well, mr. manning, i will follow you wherever you go because i love you that much!

so...i shall wear my (colts) manning jerseys with pride...until i need to buy some new ones in the fall.

thank you peyton for 14 years of nothing but greatness and skill. you are the classiest man to ever grace a football field! and a hero and role model for many young boys out there!

love you...xxx

i guess there's no fighting like cats and dogs in this house...;)
