Re: Kim/ne & Atlanta -

[Guest guest]

: Thanks for introducing yourself. I agree this group

has been wonderful for all of us including our kids. ne was

very excited to here that there was a new person that is her age to

meet. We should get the girls together and start them emailing each

other. ne emails to Holly from the group too. They weren't

able to be at the conference either but hopefully they can make next

years. I am hoping to have our pictures posted by the end of the

week. I will let you know when they are posted so you can check

them out. Good luck with everything going on - it sounds like your

hands are full right now - you are in our prayers.
