100 Things

Maecy called me up this morning - her water broke in bed and she's on the way to the hospital. So I am ready to go at any second just in case I need to pick up mom or keep Maecy company or just need to visit Mateo. Mila is packed and we're ready to go. So as I am sitting here a little bored, I've done some research on the stork signs and I looked at Luke's blog book. Here's an old list of 100 things... Interesting to see what I've done in the last 5 years...
