In 2002, Entertainment Weekly ranked it as the greatest modern movie romance.
Are you a child of the 80s?
From what classic 80s movie comes this quote? "I don't want to buy anything, sell anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought or processed, or repair...
just following orders
My Prince Charming is anything but camera shy. When he saw I was going to take pictures of his sister, he jumped right in. Then he wanted to get his bear (remember him?) in on the act. I'm not sure what's happened in the last few days, but my baby is turning into a...
“When the chips are down…
refill the basket." My 15-year-old son and I went to buy new basketball shoes after his first practice yesterday. I had something that is a rare and treasured commodity for me: one-on-one time with an individual child. We ate lunch at Moe's. I love their quirky...

Sabra at Cotillion

Christian at Cotillion
