We ... http://mrandmrspeters.com/blog/?p=823 First, I must congratulate my cousins Paul and Paige. Today they found out that their baby-on-the-way is a sweet little girl.

A long while. More than a month. Not that anyone is counting... besides my mom, that is. In the month that has passed, a lot has happened.
