    I hope you aren’t too disappointed, but I’m going to cop out of Saturday Surfing today.  The last few days have been jammed packed, and though good, they were definitely exhausting.  Not only have we been busy here, with friends and toddler fun, but I’ve also been working on websites and getting more active with…

    Sometimes when I look at the two of them, I feel like my heart is going to explode.  Really, how did I get so lucky?
