Supa, congrats; it is exciting isn't it? My age is showing; when I saw the topic my first thought was "Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret" by Judy Blume. Ahhh 6th grade. All you other 40 something mom's might know what I'm talking about

YAY!!!! It took us 13 months to get ours (!!!), so it was a little "anticlimactic" but I know it is such a great feeling!

THERE ARE EIGHT DIFFERENT WAYS YOUR CHILD CAN DIE ON A CORDED WINDOW TREATMENT
Read "How Safe Cords Kill" at www.pfwbs.org

THREE CHILDREN HAVE STRANGLED TO DEATH SINCE ANGEL DIED ON 8/11/09.
Brandyn Coppedge died on 9/11/09. Rosie Smith died on 9/30/09 and Thapelo Kwofie died on 11/1/09. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is no longer recommending safety kits. They are now recommending that anywhere children live or visit should be free of corded window products.

Awesome!! There's just something about seeing your own name on that sheet of paper, isn't there? Such a simple thing but yet it means everything.
