This is a family blog. Visitors are always welcome. We'll love your comments! In fact, the Bixbys have always been very hospitable. But remember: this is a family blog. It is about us.
Oh-- and Family, remember that visitors drop in any time they want. So let's keep things in the closet and under the bed that should stay out of sight to visitors. Let's be real, but as Dad used to say, "Remember your last name!"

ReplyDeleteDoes dad realize how silly he looks laying on the ground just to get this picture?
ReplyDeleteSheesh! If I had known that mom was going to get a picture from this angle, I would have worn long pants.
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe that dad bought the shrink's line that this would help me get over my fear of heights.
