well kids, in a few hours i'm going to be on my way to the outer banks in north carolina. i am so excited to get to the beach! wahoo! i will miss all of you though, and think of you often as i'm laying on the warm, sandy beach. i hope you all have a wonderful week! i will talk to you all when i get back (except for mark, whom i will be calling in a few days... miss you, honey)

love to all...
