She's Ours

We have her in the hotel now. I tried typing that sentence earlier but she shut the computer down as I was typing! I don't know how. But just a few keystrokes and it was shutting down. Now she keeps trying to run away from Tara down the hall. So far, she hasn't cried, just the occasional "I don't want to do that" sound that kids make. She's so great!

    She's wearing us out. She missed her nap because of us, so she's cranky, but it's too early for bed.

    Bill, it sounds like you may have a new computer companion. Check it out. I am so proud of both of you and just can't wait to see Elizabeth.
