You have such an amazing family! I wish that I could be one of your girls and get to do all of those fun fieldtrips! That cracks me up that Audrey listens to Car Talk :) You are training her young to be an NPR fan, huh? Congrats on getting to perform in a concert hall! That's awesome! Merry Christmas - miss you guys!

Your girls are adorable…as is Graton.

Val, you're hot, girl…

Can I say that to a married woman? If not, pretend this comment didn't happen. If so, herald it to the world.
