Your posts are amazing. thank you.<br /><br />I loved hearing from you about your vacation. I know you are enjoying the Grand Tetons. I will be jealous if you see a moose. We spent hours and days trying to spot one.<br /><br />I know Leo is just darling at the crawling stage. I miss those days when our grands were so small and fun with each new phase. Now the stage is a lot about the teen years. They are just a joy at this age too.<br /><br />Have a wonderful time on your vacation and have a safe trip home.<br /><br />Hugs, Jeannejeannehttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-82207098660305492212009-09-01T14:21:28.432-04:002009-09-01T14:21:28.432-04:00Wow, love the pictures and the writing about it! ...Wow, love the pictures and the writing about it!
