It's Offical




We have a teenager in the house. Contessa turned 13 on Saturday. We celebrated her birthday at the Bowling Alley. Contessa invited her friends from Girl Scouts.

Have I ever told you the story of Ground hog's Day?
Thirteen years ago, I was about to give birth to Contessa. We had been checked into the hospital and awaited the doctor to arrive. When the doctor came in to deliver Contessa he instructed the nurses to turn the lights out. Marc and I looked at each other puzzled by this new birthing technique. When we questioned the doctor he simply explained... "If the baby sees it's shadow it will go back inside." Contessa's first gift from her daddy was a stuffed baby groundhog.
