I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about, but I'm very happy to be here.
Mom and Dad are both pretty cool - so far. Home is MUCH better than the hospital. And I really appreciate all
the presents I have received. Thank you to everyone for your generosity and making my first 2 and half months so much fun.
Mom - you call her Christy - will be back in the office on October 16th.
