It's so wonderful to see photos of Dorie! She is absolutely precious! Looks like she is doing great! Bless you both!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a sweetie, Melissa! She sure knows how to assume the "cheese" position! And now, thanks to Miriam, she knows "stinky feet" as well!! So great to see you ... all the very BEST to you and Dorie!
