I see I'm fashionably late to the party.....  Happy Birthday Kolby!!!!!   What a handsome young man he is....   Barb, I thought you'd gotten him a Chihuahua, that was my guess as to what was in the bag!!!!

Barb, the onbe picture with Kolby laying off to the side, he looks really big, he must carry more weight in his abdomen? Kain carries his in his chest, Ang in her rear, I guess all are different.  The girls were so happy to see the present that Kolby got.  They said mommy, I have that same ball Kebe has, (and pointed to the soccer ball).
