Friends News: Link to Erb family blog added
I’d like to point out a new link I’ve added to this site’s blogroll: “Tiny Tot Tales“, the family blog of the Erb family. The site chronicles the adventures of David and Alex’s beautiful family, especially their three gorgeous children, Nathaniel, Isabelle, and Gabriel. David and I have been friends every since our days together at The American University. He’s like a brother to me, and I’m really happy to see their happy life through the content on their site. It’s an inspiration to me, for sure!


Oh, and more good news is on the way: Alex is now pregnant with her fourth child! The baby is due in December. I know that from the very cool “baby countdown” widget they have on their site! Congratulations!
