The Brittons

I started this blog almost exactly 17 years ago, shortly after Gracie was born.  SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO.  This is basically a diary of the last 17 years, meant for our kids to look back and remember all the fun things (and some challenges) during their time growing up.  I have been putting this off, mostly in denial that the start of Gracie's last year of high school is actually here.  No more denial.  It starts this week.  Last pictures of softball.  Last first day of school.  Last first softball game.
