Hi, Jack

OK, so she really shouldn't leave herself automatically logged in to her blog, should she? I hope at least a few of you get to read this post before she deletes it!

This is Shawn, and I am hijacking this wonderful blog to (and she's going to hate this) CELEBRATE! It's Rhoda's birthday!!!!! (although I wouldn't be nearly so rude as to tell you how old she is, and you can't make me!)

I did want to tell everyone out there (although most of you 4 Little Rascals readers already know) that Rhoda is amazing! I am so glad she was born on this day oh so many years ago. If she hadn't been, my life would be drastically different. I hate to imagine what my life would be like without Rhoda.

The problem is that I can't tell you anything you can't already tell from reading this blog. You know that Rhoda is creative, funny, inspiring, and a great mom. You've seen the amount of sacrifice and effort she puts in to raising the 4 Little Rascals. I'm n0t nearly as much help to her as I probably should be, but she doesn't complain. Her biggest complaint is that she doesn't do more!

Anyway, Rhoda I love you, and I want everyone out there to know it. You amaze me. Sometimes, in those quiet moments of reflection, I wonder "how did I end up with someone as wonderful as you?" The even more amazing thing is that it'll last FOREVER (as long as I don't screw it up)!

's not-so-secret admirer, Shawn
