Glad that it got there!  I hear BB may be going back up there to visit
in a couple of weeks.  Lucky you!!  I guess that if everyone is ineligible
then that makes everyone eligible too, but I am not the coordinator of
that exchange so can't say for sure.  Glad you liked my block.  I loved
the way it turned out!

Oh, but these two are so good that it isn't hard to take care of them.
The little boy plays with my son and needs no extra supervision and the
baby is a doll.  She hardly ever cries and is still at the eat and sleep
and eat and sleep stage.  Quite easy!  Besides, I love spoiling her and 
then handing her back to her parents!
Later!,
