Nate’s post says it all.
By the way, here is the post where he announced Tricia’s pregnancy.

I read an article yesterday that says we’re going to spend about 51 cents less on Mother’s Day stuff this year than we did last year.

I love my mom. I love her a lot. Really.
But I would not live to send another Mother’s Day card if I [...]

I just had to say that.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Brooke White, a contestant on American Idol, got about four words into “You Must Love Me,” forgot the lyrics, stopped, and asked to start again. She did, and, overall, sounded quite lovely.

KEEP PRAYING. I [...]

When I started writing, my husband, my best friend Sarah, and a few friends from work read.
