Couldn’t Help It
Sorry friends, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to stop putting pics up. I’m just in love! Last night was definitely the hardest yet (and I’m sure there’s plenty more to come), but overall he’s been pure joy.

Mission Front Involvement
I finally finished the last section of The Mission Front last week, so I thought I’d point to it in case you’ve read through it before it was complete. The How You Can Be Involved section is here, or you can click on the links on the right side of the page.
