Tiny’s Sunday Morning Stroll

Friday, October 27th, 2006

tiny4.jpgOn Saturday night, Ashleigh came home with her friends, and like any teenager worthy of the title, forgot to close the garage door. This wasn’t really that big of a deal. We live in a relatively safe neighborhood so no one stole our cars. Read the rest of this entry »
