RE: Wanted to share
Gunnar and Bella are two awesome kids ... Chadomac and Aprirr are probably two awesome parents!
The apples don't fall far from the tree!
Great stories, thanks for sharing!
Chad ... hoping that you get a full remission from whichever cancer you are fighting!
In one of my favorite movies, Armageddon, Harry (bruce willis) Stamper's elderly dad, played by Lawrence Tierney has a little throwaway line that always touches me whenever I watch it. He says (and I'm paraphrasing here) "Harry, do you know why god gives us children? So we can have flowers in December."
Seems like you guys are starting to see your flowers a little earlier than that.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
