    Thank you so much for the kind words, everyone!! I thought it looked like Anne, too. I didn't start out that way, but it got more and more Anne along the way!! She is so awesome, thanks for sharing her tribute with me!!

    @AnneofAlamo I'm so glad you love it! And that it printed well! I'm absolutely honored that you want to frame it and that you are using it as your avatar!! <3 <3

    @bellbird Thank you! During one of her chats I was complaining that my brother in law always seems to have dinner ready during chats. Anne said that she just throws poptarts at her family to get them to let her chat. I thought that was awesome! So I told my family, and Anne will forever be the poptart thrower. :)

    I have had the worse two days with my boys in a long time, those days you question why you ever became a mommy. lol, and then puking migraine today. (I finally got a cup of coffee in a few minutes ago) I read these posts and the tears came. Fast and furious. I am a mommy and scrap every memory I can and I am so honored to post them among such amazing people. YOU all are amazing and I will say again, a tribute to humanity! ♥

    I'm sorry to hear you've had two very rough days Anne. Luckily they don't happen every day, right?! Remember you are an amazing mom! Sending prayers your way :)
