I know when we have church anniversary or homecoming, the little girls look similiar to them. Me personally, I say keep them in ponytails until they become teenagers. Ponytails and bangs. LOL<BR/><BR/>I have to go with Marvin Gaye on this one. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Bettye for your prayers.

When I think of some of the clothing I've seen in stores for little girls that have made my mouth drop in shock, the Obama girls were pretty conservative. I know what you mean though... what happened to the days of pretty little dresses with bows, lacy socks, and pigtails?<BR/><BR/>GwynethGwyneth Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241149490843015170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35476861.post-51960192588710008612008-08-29T10:57:00.000-05:002008-08-29T10:57:00.000-05:00Sorry, can't pick one.

Great book, he tells alot of stories about how Marvin came to record some ofthese songs.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I like the group Four Play, but they can't touch this one in my opinion.<BR/>Girl, you've got me singing the song.
