Thanks Jennifer! They are my granddaughters (oldest son's kids). I had my second's son's kids up for a little while (you know - the new baby :p ) and thought I'd give the others fair time. :p

EDIT: It says "invalid file" when I try to upload it!

Thanks TKG too for the link. I will go through that as soon as I feed dh and ds so they leave me alone.:p :rolleyes:
