Fun


cartermud.jpgMy sister is the best mother ever, the kind of mom I hope to be someday.  My niece, Carter, is a funny, smart, happy, well-adjusted 3 year old.  To celebrate my sister, the mother, I put together an iPhoto book of Carter photos from the year.  The hardest part was narrowing the hundreds of great picts to the 40 (or so) that made it into the book.  Many thanks to Apple for the 20% off coupon.  My sister is going to love it!
