There were a lot of trees around us when I was growing up before they built houses over the fields.  There must have been a storm or something because one the trees lost a large branch.  Austin picked it up and I couldn't believe it because it was a large and long branch with many shoots.  It was bare of leaves.  Austin started chasing me around with it.  I don't know why I was so afraid but I thought he was going to poke my eye out or something.  He chased me around the house a few times and I was very angry with him.  Looking back it was pretty silly of me - I probably could have just broke the branches.

In my pictures from when I was a kid I look just like my mom's childhood pictures. I also have inherited her sinuses. I can call her on a certain day when my sinuses are acting up and hers are too.

Oh yeah and did I mention that I am the number two crawler again? Sorry Julie but you are going to have to answer some more interview questions or you will have to settle for third place ;) just kidding.
