    Delk just started a new job so we have no vacations planned. Delk's mom is keeping Carter this summer so that means I don't have to pay for daycare for him. That is what I am looking forward to most. Unfortunately, Clayton still has to go or I would lose his spot. But, hey, that is better than paying for both of them all summer. I am trying to figure out how to link back to your blog so when I do I'll let ya know.
