Surrogate Family

As many of you have read in this blog, we spend a lot of time with our friends Kristy and Joel and Kelly and Keith. Their kids are great, we go to the same church, they are fun to be around--we feel like we are practically family. Well, I kind of started a joke awhile back about how I am slowly weasling my way into becoming a Schenher daughter (maiden name). I figure if I spend enough time with them, they might forget that I wasn't around for childhood. Anyway, as a joke, I noticed that Gabby was "missing" from a family photo of the grandkids, so I "fixed" it and sent it to Kristy and Kelly. They thought it was too funny, so I added Gabby to a few others for a good laugh. Hope they don't mind me sharing a few of their family photos. Hey, this is what I do while SuperNanny is on.
