Thanks, Jon, and I apologize for causing the waterworks at the same time as hurricane Harvey. I felt that having the boys tie the adoption in with Josh's birthday would be a nice touch, since he wasn't there when they first arrived, but he did a great deal to help them once he returned.

When we reached the family room, the local news broadcast was on and the entire family was watching it. "It was an unbelievable and bloody scene," the reporter was saying. "In all, there are five dead and several others were wounded in the incident that took
Thanks, Sly, Caz, Krista, Defiance, Headstall, Palantir, and Greg A.
For those of you who haven't reached this age or surpassed it, try not to grow old. Old age isn't the Golden Years unless you're talking about the numerous trips to the toilet.

Shouldn't we all ask questions about things we're not sure of?
