It's Still Friday in My Mind!
The thing about computers is you just can't fudge! This is Friday's Fave Foto - on Saturday! I have been up late sewing an apron for Heather Warner - it is her shower tomorrow.
Your dad and I were watching the the CleanFlix version of "Rainman" - which I enjoyed - I have had a number of autistic students over the last 5 years - and so I felt Dustin Hoffman had done a remarkably good job of making the character real - unlike "Forrest Gump" who did a disservice to disabled individuals with his parody of someone with limitations.
My autistic students aren't too lovable - well, they aren't "lovable" at all, but I love them anyway - and they teach me much about finding everyone's individual worth.
This photo is Christmas 1984 - when I was sick and pregnant with Hannah - I think the older kids remember that Christmas well. I'm not sure why I posted it - except it certainly captures the essence of morning sickness - I won't bore you with the nitty gritty!

I agree re: Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. One of the few movies made along these lines that didn't make me gag (I Am Sam, anyone? ugh).
ahhhh - i remember that christmas well.
i remember that mom didn't get my photo album done because she was too sick - and i'm now grateful because i don't have to peel all the pix out of an old non-acid free album.
and i'm sorry you didn't like forrest gump - i liked it - but then i think tom hanks is an acting genius.
i did like rain man too. i though dustin hoffman was a genius as well.
love these pix - so do the girls.
