Thanks a ton everyone for all the nice posts.
Eskimo, the strangers are calling, we have received mail now too, just to wish us well... we really didn't have anyone behave poorly, just nice people congratulating us, etc.
MT, I am really enjoying the kids. I love laying on the floor with them and playing, it's great to watch them learn.
Moot, we take tons of pictures and Stacy categorizes them by month. Good idea.
Culero, you're right, my life has been very enriched... we may be broke financially but we are very well off in the areas that count the most.
Thanks again everyone, I'm really glad you took the time to see the chronicle of our adventure. Stacy says "Thanks so much" for all the kind words, she was really touched by all the kindness. She thought we were just a bunch of armchair competitors(and we are, just not limited to that) she didn't understand our community until she read this thread.
