"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation."--Robert Kennedy
I am so sorry about little Caitlyn. Hopefully she is all better now!! You should have called me to let me know she was back in the hospital. See you Wednesday morning!!
Sorry about the killing you comment. Things were much better today....still very overwhelming, but better. Caitlyn must be keeping you busy...you have not even been on myspace. See you when I get home. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the VP announcement :)
You are lucky you have a family to tend to now because if not I would kill you for getting me involved in this nonsense!! School sucks!! I am so overwhelmed by 5000 I am scared to even go back to 5600 tomorrow. See you next week!! Tell Caitlyn Happy One Week old for me tomorrow!!
The pics of Caitlyn are so cute!!! I cannot wait to see her again. I am a little upset that I did not get my photo-op with the new little princess yet, but since you were a little sleepy I will forgive you this time. Keep me updated and get ready for my "freak out" call this weekend :) One more thing - your profile pic is the best father/daughter picture ever!! We have it on the shrine to Caitlyn bulletin board up here.
