Summary
While cleaning the house one day, the Whitneys discover their old family album and decide to take a walk down memory lane.

Story
One Saturday morning, everyone at Whitney Manor was working together to get the mansion clean.

"I hate spring cleaning day", Sarah said, "there's just so much work to do."

"Believe it or not, sometimes I'm unhappy about having to work", Woody said, "but it still needs to get done eventually."

Sarah just grumbled and continued sweeping, and Stocking Head walked over to Rosalina.

"Hey, Rosalina", Stocking Head said, "you want me to dust under that bookshelf over there?"

"Yes please", Rosalina said, "but be careful, the legs are a little uneven."

"Okay", Stocking Head said.

Stocking Head dusted under the shelf, and a book fell from the top and hit him in the head.

"Ow", Stocking Head said.

Rosalina walked over to him.

"Are you okay", Rosalina asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine", Stocking Head said, "what hit me?"

"It was this book right here", Rosalina said.

Then, she looked at the cover and recognized what book it was.

"Hey, everyone", Rosalina said, "I found a scrapbook."

The others walked over to her.

"It's a scrapbook of events that have happened over the years", Rosalina said.

"Cool", Sarah said, "what all's in there?"

"Well, let's open it up and take a look", Rosalina said.

Rosalina opened the book up and found a picture of her with her late husband, Trey.

"Here's a picture of me and your dad on our wedding day", Rosalina said, "what a beautiful day that was."

Flashback

Rosalina and Trey had just shared their first kiss, and everyone was cheering.

"Way to go, you two", someone shouted.

The two exited the church and walked over to the wedding photographer.

"Smile", the photographer said.

The photographer took their picture, and the two got into the vehicle that said "just married" on the back, which dragged along empty boxes of rifle bullets.

End Flashback

Rosalina sighed and looked at the picture.

"I wish he were still here", Rosalina said, "I miss him very much."

"Us too, Mom", Sarah said.

Rosalina turned the page, and saw a picture of her holding Sarah, who was a newborn baby.

"Look at this, Sarah", Rosalina said, "it's the day I brought you into this world."

"Wow", Sarah said.

"Wow is right", Rosalina said, "I'll never forget that day."

Flashback

Trey was waiting outside of a hospital room, and the doctor came outside.

"Mr. Whitney", the doctor said, "your wife has just delivered your baby."

Trey went inside, and saw Rosalina holding their newborn baby.

"It's a girl", the doctor said.

"Isn't she beautiful", Rosalina asked, "we should call her Sarah."

Trey just smiled as Rosalina handed him baby Sarah so he could hold her.

"This really is the happiest day of my life", Rosalina said.

End Flashback

"It felt so good having a child", Rosalina said, "when I was a girl, I played with dolls wondering what motherhood was really like, and when you were born, I finally got to experience it."

"That's nice, Mom", Sarah said.

Then, she turned to another page and found a picture of baby Jasmine.

"Look, Jasmine", Rosalina said, "that's you in the orphanage in Egypt."

"It is", Jasmine asked.

"Yes", Rosalina said, "giving birth to my biological daughter was a great memory, and so was adopting you."

Flashback

One afternoon in Whitney Manor, Rosalina and Trey had returned from their Egyptian vacation, and after the babysitter had left, Sarah, who was two years old, walked over to them and saw baby Jasmine sleeping in a baby carrier.

"Meet your new sister, Sarah", Rosalina said, "her name is Jasmine."

Rosalina un-strapped Jasmine and held her.

"Would you like to hold her, Sarah", Jasmine asked.

"Yes", Sarah said.

Sarah sat down on the couch, and Rosalina handed Jasmine to her.

"Now be very gentle", Rosalina said, "she's just a baby."

Jasmine opened her eyes and looked at Sarah, who smiled at her newly-adopted younger sister.

End Flashback

"Yes", Rosalina said, "adopting you into this family was one of the best decisions I've made."

"And I'm very grateful to be a part of this family", Jasmine said.

Rosalina hugged Jasmine and turned the page to a picture of Woody with a mullet.

"I remember this", Rosalina said.

Dr. Fox took a look at the picture of Woody and found it funny.

"What's with the hair, Wood", Dr. Fox asked, "you look like Rambo."

"I was going through a phase", Woody said.

"This was him when he first applied to work for me", Rosalina said.

"Yep", Woody said, "I remember it like it was yesterday."

Flashback

Rosalina was talking to Woody about the possibility of hiring him as her butler.

"So what makes you want to work for me", Rosalina asked.

"I just want a job that's different from most", Woody said.

"I see", Rosalina said, "tell me, what qualities do you have?"

"Well, I'm good at fixing things", Woody said, "and I'm also good with topiary, so if you want, I could double as a gardener."

"Interesting", Rosalina said, "and have you had any previous jobs?"

"Yes", Woody said, "I used to work in a gas station down at Texas, and I also helped my Dad out at the army base."

"I see", Rosalina said.

She then thought for a moment.

"Woody Hanks", Rosalina said, "you're hired."

"Gee, thanks", Woody said, "should I bring my own suit, or do you have one for me?"

"Oh, you don't have to wear a suit", Rosalina said, "I'm not going to force my employees to have to wear something they don't want to."

"Really", Woody asked.

"But we do have a dress code", Rosalina said, "I'll go over that with you later."

"Alright", Woody said, "thanks again, Mrs. Whitney."

"Please, call me Rosalina", Rosalina said.

End Flashback

"Three years later, Woody's still a devoted butler", Rosalina said.

"Thanks", Woody said, "I really like it here."

"Well, I'm not sure you need to explain my backstory", Dr. Fox said.

"You're right", Rosalina said, "we had a whole afternoon to talk about it."

Rosalina turned to another page, and found a picture of Stocking Head as a puppy.

"Hey, that's me", Stocking Head said.

"That's right", Rosalina said, "you were a little pup."

"Wow", Stocking Head said.

"That sure was a pretty neat day when I found you", Rosalina said.

Flashback

One afternoon, Rosalina was walking around downtown, and saw a Bassett Hound puppy wearing an oversized red, white, and green stocking cap.

"What kind of dog is that", Rosalina asked.

The puppy crossed the road, dodging traffic along the way, hopped over the curb, and ran to Rosalina's feet.

"Hello", Rosalina said.

Rosalina picked him up and looked for a collar, but there was nothing.

"He must be a stray", Rosalina said.

Rosalina carried him with her to her car and sat him in the passenger seat.

"Don't worry", Rosalina said, "I'll take good care of you."

Pretty soon, they arrived home.

"Girls", Rosalina said, "there's someone I'd like you to meet."

Sarah and Jasmine came downstairs, and saw Jasmine holding the puppy.

"A puppy", Sarah said.

"Where did you get him", Jasmine asked.

"I saw him downtown", Rosalina said, "he was across the street, and as if he knew where to go, he came to me."

"It must've been fate", Jasmine said.

"It must have been", Rosalina said.

"What's his name", Sarah asked.

"I'm going to call him Stocking Head", Rosalina said, "because of his stocking hat."

"Good name", Jasmine said.

"Say", Sarah said, "where did the hat come from?"

"I don't know", Rosalina said, "he was wearing it when I met him."

"Oh well", Sarah said, "welcome to the family, Stocking Head.

Stocking head happily licked Sarah's face, pleased to have a good home with a family who loves him.

End Flashback

"Let me tell you", Stocking Head said, "there's no place in this world I'd rather be that here with you guys."

"Aww, thanks, Stocking Head", Sarah said.

Sarah picked up Stocking head and hugged him, and the others joined it.

"It's so nice that we were able to make so many memories together", Rosalina said, "and I'm glad we're still together to make new ones."

"You said it, Mom", Jasmine said.

Then, Sarah's stomach grumbled.

"Sorry", Sarah said, "I guess I'm a little hungry."

"I's alright", Woody said, "how about I go fix something up for lunch?"

"Sounds good", Sarah said.

And so, everyone got ready to eat some lunch made by Woody.
