Thank you everyone…

Thankfully things went better than expected and my daughter is being released from the hospital this afternoon.  To everyone who sent me well wishes and/or liked her pic I want to thank you for your support… it really means a lot to my family and I! 

We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging.

Daddy’s Little Blue-Tongued Girl - unfortunately my daughter, pictured here, is spending the next couple days at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center due to recurring stomach problems completely unrelated to her consumption and love of blue snowballs - if you’re the praying type, please say a prayer for her.  If you’re not, please show her some love.
