I also like #31.
That was really cute, Liz. He is a great big brother-- Love you too, John!
so cute Liz, I'll have to get John to come over and read this. I got a little teary! I remember the day I met you too (and I remember that you were wearing your hair in messy pigtails and a cute little Oregon ducks t-shirt- random I know, but I have a pretty good memory for things like that).
love you too!
Thanks Liz, that means a lot to me and brings back some classic memories. Luckily you were too young to remember when, as a baby, I put you in the dresser drawer to get you to stop crying. Ivy doesn't like that tactic either.....
love you.
