Just reading through this made my heart pound, not only for what you would say (though I had read Monday's post, so I should've known he was fine), but also set my mind racing about my Curly Kids. Of course, my mind races over my Curly kids anytime they sleep past 6 AM and I completely miss my chance to sleep in!<br />God bless you and all your boys!<br /><br Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857161791109887176.post-27303963661015645022011-06-06T21:31:24.813-05:002011-06-06T21:31:24.813-05:00Katie.
