Goodness. I don't know when I'll have time to do this...but I'll start working on it. I learned lots about you and Jody. How fun. --Matt is out of town this entire weekend, but if you wanted to do it early enough on Friday that I could get Laynee home for bed by 9pm, Laynee, McKinley and I could come. I think Laynee might like it. She enjoys musicals.
