Hey sweetie! Just went back through all the comments on your blogspot. See Nini wrote you a couple times. This Children of the 80s thing is okay, but it has been a long time since you posted anything here. The webcam is up and running. Teddy's home and chatted on Skype with Katrin today. Talk later! Love Mom
