I logged in today to do what I could to thwart my sneaky husbands plan–blog hijacker he is.

    I read this smiling.

    You two.

    What an inspiration. But better yet? I love that your kids are going to get to read this one day… and smile… and understand.

    Well done, you two.

      Oh Lisa, incredible is the only word I have when I think about you. Okay, maybe inspiring, beautiful and gracious, too.

      Thank you for your kind words and for enjoying the ride right along with us. I appreciate you so very much!
