I got back from a much needed vacation last night. I had a wonderful time. We started by spending a night in Raleigh, NC where we got to spend some time and meet Dawn before heading to South Carolina to see some friends and family.

It's been an interesting week here. Last weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Corin and Nate Nava, parents of Gabriel. Such a sweet couple! I'm so glad they stopped in Raleigh. I really hope to see them in Boston when we can pull off our conference up there. There's a photo of the 3 of us in the album.

Tuesday was Shane's angelversary. It was HARD! Well, not ...
