Taking a 20 month old kiddo bowling a few weeks ago? Not such a great idea, haha. I didn't get many pictures, because... He kept picking up balls and dropping them on the floor, running around the whole place like a crazy person, and getting in our way when we were trying to bowl. When we first got there and were getting our shoes on, he ran onto a lane and proceeded to fall over because the lane was all slippery with wax, haha.  It was pretty funny :) He also "rolled" the ball down the lane, where...

I just found something that not many people find and  I wish it had been supported by the people who mean the most.  It's going to hurt, because losing someone always does- but time heals I guess. I will...
