So you won't check for comments and be disappointed I will happily leave one! Thanks to Ben & Ayrel's blog I discovered yours, and I love it! Now I can feel connected to your family even though you left us behind in Texas.... You are looking marvelous, as is your family, and I'm not surprised to see that Mexico has gained big-time by having y'all there. We miss you, and love it when you come back to visit, especially if I can hold one of the twins during church!
wow.... some of this I can relate to, but most of it, I can't even imagine. I haven't met you in person but I can tell you are just incredible!!!!
