Kaeta loves playing with her cousin Clara.  A couple of weeks ago, they got to spend the day together. They had a good time coloring.  At one point, Clara came over to Karianne and announced, “The Big Show is ready!” “What’s the Big Show?” Karianne asked. “I-unno,” Clara said, shrugging!  But then she got down […]

UPDATE: Now that second link actually works. Also, the price of the newspaper has dropped to $74. Yesterday’s New York Times is on sale for $80 on ebay.  Check it out.
