Well...there's not much a MaMa can say...needless to say we're tickled to death. Forget the thought I've had that it might be time to "downsize" from our big house to something smaller. Dad's thinking bigger now. It's great and you'll make a wonderful Daddy. Love, Ma

Shawn, You just have such a way with words that "amen" just doesn't seem to be the right word. Sorry, I'll keep an eye out for the right time. Ma
