Thanks Christy,
It is nice to hear that people like what I am posting, sometimes I wonder if I cross the line. Any way Happy Birthday to Brit. I hope her 13th was wonderful.

I'm Carrie, husband Eric, son Austin (5), daughter Shae (almost 3) ROBPI. We live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Shae has had primary & secondary surgeries at TCH. She's doing well. I don't check the message boards as often as I did when she was going through surgeries, but I do look around every now & then. These boards helped me through some very difficult times - I thank all of you.
