The above photo was taken of my oldest son yesterday. We both got new cameras this past weekend. His 'technique' needs a little more work, however...
Well another successful 'Thon has come and gone. We bested last year's take (in 48-less operational hours than the previous year), raised over $9K (over $35,000 total since 2002), and our volunteers processed over 1000 e-mails with pictures! What started out as a one-woman operation with a few friends pitching in here and there has ended up with three separate departments, individual coordinators and managers, and a 'round-the-clock volunteer core.
There's just an amazing base of support out there from the volunteers, donors, participants, and those who link to the site every year - and we couldn't do it without you.
Thank you so much everyone! *raises glass in cheers for a job well done*
Now if you'll excuse me...I'm about a month behind on real life and I'd really like nothing more than just a quiet day at home with the kids...
Love,

P.S. I'm UPDATING this entry to say: Don't buy from auction seller "backdropsource" / "backdropsourcecom". They are dirty rotten thieving bastards. Looks like our little crooks also have a website at backdropsource dot com. Read over at Flickr for more details on the saga I so did not need in my life this week...
