even SOME adults try to show up wearing flip-flops! I don't know if it's actually banned, but people should be ashamed. We should all want to show respect. And yes, Allanah is just absolutely precious.

Just so very dear!

He has a very gentle heart.

Thanks for posting this, Cha. A keeper for sure! And that little girl dressed in her Sunday best. He probably appreciates moments like this even more as he realizes his own little girls aren't so little anymore.

Mine are grown. One is already gone - off to the races on her own. She'll be 24 in a couple of weeks. The other has one foot out the door - it won't be long, I'm sure, since he's 21. Most of the other boys in the band are 23 and have either moved into their own places by now or are thinking seriously about it. I know it'll seem like two or three days til it happens. Seems like two or three days ago they were born.
