Lots of Love,

I just found a link to your site on Cameron Moll’s site. I must say it made me teary eyed with thoughts of my own family (wife Melissa and 16 month old son Liam). I wish our blog (hodgsonfamilyupdate.blogspot.com) was this cool.
Thanks for sharing your happiness.

I just happened upon your site looking for the lyrics to “Memories”, and I just want to say, “Don’t ever let the magic end!” … Carol & Ethan, you definitely have, from looking at these photos, and seeing the love, warmth, friendship and respect between you two, the wonderful blessing that we are all looking for in life! You’ve found the love of your life in each other! May God continue to bless you both and your beautiful family! Never ever take what you have for granted and hold on to what you have and enjoy the love and friendship, and your beautiful blessings from the Lord, your adorable children, all the days of your spectacular life! God Bless You ALL Always! Deborah

Thanks Deborah! And I totally agree. We found that rare blessing of being able to marry our best friend. Carol is my miracle.
