  1. Like I told Melissa "Another party down and 25 to go and I love doing every one of them."
    The video made me cry.

  2. Melissa this post was fantastic! I especially enjoyed the picture of Kevin :) The "Enjoy it now Robert. She'll be grown up before you know it and then you will know what I've gone through" from Daddy choked me up. Thank you for the memories.

  4. It was when Daddy said that that I was so glad I had started recording. I knew it would be a tear jerker=)
