THE KIDS It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.

what a sweet face! All of your photos could be a jumping off place for so many stories. I'm having a harder and harder time trying to read these. So I'll still visit, but no more comments.
