Thanks ladies-- it's funny because some people think mom & i look so much alike & others don't. i'm just hoping i got some of her "ability to get skinny" genes.
About that pumpkin patch... I think it was in Canby, Oregon, but don't remember for sure. I have some skinnier pictures from that same pumpkin patch--you probably saw my mom's skinny pictures at the same patch a couple of years later--- but i'll have to get permission from leopard woman & bon bon before i post them, since the pics are a group picture of the 3 of us. We were sure having fun that day! Isn't it great to have MF buddies? Maybe we'll have pictures of Nicholas in the pumpkin patch this year.
