Seven random facts.

3) I pass out at the sight of my own blood (and I was an R.N. in my earlier days!)
4) We lived in an old house (built in 1920) for several years in Northield, MN. It was adorable, just not alwys practical
5) My daughters, Kate and Kelly are only 21 months apart and they both have red hair!

Yay!!! Thanks for remembering me, Leslie!!!! As Noah is learning more and more sounds, but is still unable to link them together, I’m more into your book than ever.
Hope things are going well.
