Re: Need advice on heat and sun

Debbie:

I'm so jealous! You lucky lady...Bahamas?? Oh that sounds like so

much fun! Although it is close to 80 degrees here in Grand Rapids &

nothing but sunshine, so who needs the Bahamas? (me!). I'm already

wishing it was fall again, Abby is so obsessed w/going outside I

can't accomplish a thing around the house!

Anyhoo, sorry I can't really help you with either of your questions.

What good am I? Seems like I've heard of a powder being mentioned in

the past too, but I can't remember the name either. I've always used

just Coppertone baby sunblock for Abby, but with her head of hair, I

never had to worry about band tan lines last year.

How's Kendall's head rounding out? How are those aweful drives

going? I'm betting there is plenty of construction now to contend

with to make your long drive even longer!

Good to hear from you again & have a safe & fun trip to the Bahamas
