I haven't forgotten you.

Really I haven't. I'm sorry for not updating sooner, though I hope those of you who are following our soap opera have seen Joel's update. We will come out of this crunch, after all, but I can't give details now because of a preschooler yelling "Mommy" from the other side of the door, a baby wanting fed, a toddler sneaking to disassemble machinery, and sick and/or grumpy older kids. That's been my week, so I hope you'll forgive me for being slow to reply to you all. I am very grateful for you. I truly am.
