Recent photos of Rowyn....





With a face like this, it is hard to tell her "No", she is just so darn cute and so full of life and happiness!!!
Fall semester classes start today... it will be interesting to see how this semester goes with Rowyn, now that she is getting older and becoming more of her own little person.

I am currently dealing with lots of "NO, NO NO!!"... from her. Everything I say or do is a no, so now when I try to correct her, I look for other words to use besides "no" so that maybe she will move on to a different word.
