Annette-
Already checked the calendars, and sorry to say I can't make either event, because of managing the store. Thanks for letting us all know, and taking a lead with the events, Pump It Up was such a grand idea!!! Thanks for all you do, and that all your family has to show, as I'm very proud of you and the entire family, as I'm more positive with my own child.
Attn. Shannon and Brent Rawlings: And Shannon, I miss you too, maybe the Rawlings can write me soon, as I feel Annette is an uplifting soul to be around.
Take Care,
Mary and Darrin Gilligan

Hi Annette,
Let me check my calendar but I may be able to sit at the Kids Fair on the
20th. I know that hubby has to work, but maybe if I have enough stuff for
Bria to do she can come with me unless one of her aunts can babysit that
day. Have to find out.
Talk to you later,
Amy
