    PARTY OF TWO: Savor your special moments as if they are sweet treats

    It was a day when it felt like Angie was growing up too quickly, so I pulled her yellow-checkered baby book down from the top shelf of our closet. She and I crawled into bed, snuggled under the covers and devoured every photograph in the pages of her special album.

During 2007, the year the Russell and Eleanor Handlers' parental rights involving their son David were terminated, the Department of Health and Human Services removed 381 children from homes after parental rights were terminated. According to documents provided by the department, 101 of those children were placed with relatives on the date of the termination.

    HARLAN: Wedding invitation from friends missing some family members

    My husband and I were invited to the wedding of lifelong family friends. Our son and daughter grew up with both the bride and groom. The wedding invitation we received came addressed on both the outside and inside envelope with just my name and my husband's name on them. I thought perhaps my son and daughter were receiving their own invites -- that was not the case. Other friends their age have received their own invitations. I was told by the groom's mother that this was an error and yes, they certainly are invited. However, the after-the-fact verbal invite has left our children feeling awkward and out of place, especially knowing that other friends have received their own invites. They are thinking they don't want to go. What are your thoughts?
