I just wanted to say Thank you for all of the birthday wishes. I received a few visits, many phone calls, Facebook posts, and blog comments for my birthday. Each one is so appreciated! So, THANK YOU!

Quotes from the Boys

12/10: J informed us that he KNOWS Santa is real due to the fact that "you guys are too cheap to buy us the good stuff that Santa brings!"

11/25/09: T was pointing out that since we've been to Yellowstone, we should go to Purplestone next.

6/09: When my nephew, C, was visiting, he didn't remember N's name. He was trying to tell me something about N by saying, "The Long One"! I knew EXACTLY who he was talking about! My 5'9" 13 year-old!
