I have mixed emotions about Facebook. In fact, it can take you through your full range of emotions in one session... happy, sad, touched, annoyed, reflective, inspired... But what I love about Facebook is reconnecting with old acquaintances and discovering where life has taken them. Emily is one such acquaintance from high school.

"Did Dylan tell you about what happened on the bus yesterday?" {fear... horror... wonder...} She relayed a story about Dylan falling victim to a bully ...
I've written before about my affinity for "Grow With Me" nursery themes. I mean, you put so much into a baby's special space... it's nice to see it work a little longer!
