    YES!!!!! Funny little story- lots of people know you in Wpg. Once again this last Sat I overheard women talking (not silently and right in front of me) about whether or not Ruth was home with her kids yet. (I was at Grand beach for our kids mtn bike races). One women was sure they were one had no idea and the other thought you weren't So, I voluntarily asked if they meant you, and they were so shocked we'd know who each other was... I let them know that soon your kids would be home, but not soon enough! Of course they then started to ask me the questions about my kids that they were holding back at first...
    Can't wait to hear they're coming home. And oh how I want to meet you in person!

    I'm thinking it was from a play group or gym class with your "other son". One is on mat leave and I'm not sure how to describe any of them, but I think they all had kids who ride in kids of mud bike clubs.
