I had probably ever thing you could think of! She had tons and tons of clothes. Now when I was pregnant with Troy I was more laid back and knew by then that having all new stuff was not as important. However, Troy did have new stuff but i did not go to the extreme to make sure that everything matched like I did with Emily.

The mom got up with the kids and applied for a job at the Battle Mountain Intermediate School and was hired on the spot because she had a teaching degree.
