Dear Family & Friends,

Without you, we would never know what it is like to care for 6 children at one time and Jeepers wouldn't know what it was like to crash a sleepover with 3 cute girls. We also wouldn't know what it was like to have a bathroom the size of our entire second floor.

We would have no idea that Nordstrom Rack had fancy jeans for 1/2 the price and Kate Spade high heels for $40.

We wouldn't know how much poop 1 classroom pet bunny who was home for the weekend could dump when left to hop around the house.

We would never know how to grow rainbow crystals and have the lucky opportunity to carry around an empty test tube 4 days.


We also wouldn't know that an Abercrombie & Fitch hoodie costs $69.95 and that by the time da' Suser requests one for her 12th birthday that we will probably have to take money out of her college savings account to buy one. Oh, and Suse would have NO IDEA who she looked like.


We wouldn't know the definition of male bonding and we wouldn't know how to play XBOX 360 or that Jeepers certainly would need his first Nintendo DS at age 3.


We certainly would never had the chance to sit in the front seat of a Corvette Stingray our friends won in a raffle with shoes on and sticky hands.


And...we wouldn't have a reason to scram "BOOGERS" really loud in unison.



So thanks...because without all of you, life would be quite dull.
