[blparent] [Bulk] Re: Carrying a baby while out and about

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

lol  That's really easy to do for me when I don't have the excuse of 
carrying all sorts of stuff with me.  So my husband has the responsability 
of locking the door if we're together, that way he  can't blame me if he 
leaves the key in the door.  grin
