Please tell me you are purchasing every little thing he appears to want in every possible store. Please tell me that because I can't bear to think of Abe not having everything his little heart desires. Even if it ends up being a blasted Barney doll. Even then.Courtney Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399513590901125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-69227608842560705022008-04-11T22:38:00.000-07:002008-04-11T22:38:00.000-07:00How wonderful to see the faces of the Gladney care...How wonderful to see the faces of the Gladney caregivers. What a great post! I was at the indoor playpark by my house today, and I saw a mom who had two little girls who both looked Ethiopian. My shyness got the best of me, and I didn't talk to her, but I've been thinking about her all day. Next time I see her, Lori, I'm jumpin' right in! And E. loved the playpark- once Abe is crawling around a little, we should get him over there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-91720265038486062062008-04-11T19:50:00.000-07:002008-04-11T19:50:00.000-07:00He is truly, ridiculously, cute.
