I know it has been a long time since I posted to this blog.  Life just seems to happen.  One of the events in my life that has happened is I have become a “NeeNee” 5 times in the past two and a half years!  It is the most enjoyable stage of life in my opinion.  When I came across this blog post through Facebook, I knew it was something that needed to be shared.
