I wish I had. But she will be forever in my mind's eye.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441757700739381124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903559894100278705.post-20705895838356790732012-03-27T12:29:04.517-06:002012-03-27T12:29:04.517-06:00Well, first of all, I will have to admit to you bo...Well, first of all, I will have to admit to you both that I think the child is a little boy. The hair is short and both boys and grown men wear pink shirts, pink pants and even use pink parasols with flowers on them.. in short, they have NO hangups about gender-related color here. Now, I have to say that the black polish (or marker) does cast some question on the issue, but the bottom line is the child is so adorable, it doesn't matter. As for being grateful for small things, I know how hard it is to do that when you are in the midst of plenty. I could never have imagined what we have seen, but if the letters and blog postings help folks pause now & then to be thankful, they will have served a good purpose.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441757700739381124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903559894100278705.post-78093408107020494922012-03-25T20:18:52.770-06:002012-03-25T20:18:52.770-06:00I like the little girl by the chair also but why a...I like the little girl by the chair also but why are her fingernails black? Also was it the girl with the blond tips that you gave the water bottle? I agree with Janice, just glad you guys are still safe and we are going to try to be greatful for something as simple as a water bottle...how selfish we are!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745706632279164247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903559894100278705.post-17479385921505750492012-03-25T14:50:45.248-06:002012-03-25T14:50:45.248-06:00How sweet is the little girl by the blue chair!! ...How sweet is the little girl by the blue chair!! I also like the 15 year old girl picking her nose..... Joanne picks her nose still ;) Just kidding. And the little girl holding her sister is something else too.
