Okay, I uploaded some pics to Image shack. Let's see how badly I can use it!
To assist in helping everyone relax (especially Soz and Shewolf and others with young daughters) I thought I'd post a chronology.
Grandma always said that "beauty is as beauty does." Sometimes I took that to mean I wasn't as pretty as my sister, but I could make up for it if I tried real hard to be pretty on the inside. As I've aged I've realized I really don't care what anyone looks like as far as beauty in the traditional sense. (pageants) Look at the beautiful love in in Dys. Look at the wisdom and humor in George. Look at the beautiful heritage of Shewolf, and the living of what he loves in Panzade. We don't just get our looks from genetics. We get it from living, and to me that is beautiful.
So here's my contribution. Hope I don't scare any Moms. The story has a happy ending!

The most beautiful things in the world! Long road, but I got there!
See, it's living that makes us beautiful!
