First, I should really apologize for the really long delay between posts.  I’ve been busy, which isn’t really a good excuse, and I was having a problem uploading photos to the site.  Fortunately for everyone, I have resolved the photo problem (woo hoo!) and I am back to writing.  So for fans of my children you can rejoice.
