    Quail_Antwerp: Words from the Barnyard...

    This is almost like the Snugli I used with my son. It was made of denim and could be worn as a front carrier for infants and a back carrier for older babies. The child's seat area and back support adjusted with the use of snaps. I used it constantly.

    Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

    WBF - tell them of your food issues immediately. I have tried to inform retreat coordinators at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance, and have never had any issues. But if they can't do something special for you, ask to bring your own food. We have a friend who always brings his own food to church...
