Canoe Trip

Yesterday, my mom, dad, and I met up with Hannah, Todd, Alison, Mark, and Carl in the "Grand Canyon of the East." We canoed at the Pale Whale, and had a nice picnic by the river. The weather was PERFECT--not too hot, not too cold. Alison and Mark were in Pennsylvania visiting Carl, and it was nice of them to take some time to visit with us. We all had a great time.

Can I be next?

My birthday

Hello, everyone! I'm posting a picture of what happened to my earlobes and the earrings Todd got for them on my birthday yesterday. A guy and his little girl were watching them pierce my ears, and he told me that I couldn't flinch because his daughter was going next and he didn't want her to back out. I don't see why they couldn't have gone into another store for a minute, but Todd says I didn't even wince. Good for me! It didn't really hurt that bad after all. Todd also took me to Applebee's, which was really nice of him, since that is one of the hardest places for him to find something he can eat. Apparently, they won't guarantee anything to be gluten-free. It's my favorite place to go, though, so he was a sport. The manager only came over to our table three times after checking ingredients in the kitchen. :-)

Easter

Greetings from Buffalo! The Valine family had a great Easter! Enjoy the picture!
