For those of you that don't get to see or "hear" her, you are really are missing out-we now call her peg leg! (Clunk, Clunk, Clunk) Her new pink leg doesn't seem to be slowing her down, it's just amazing how little one's just go with the flow. She's a little doll, I just love her so much, and her bubu even makes her all the cuter. Love you Matty-and I pray for you to heal Mahmo Schneider And don’t forget to pray for Mommy, Daddy, Miles and Java (even Mahmo) as she’s already figured out the cast is like concrete-ouch-it really didn’t feel to great on my elbow!!!!
