Hey Dave!!!
Great website, although it could be better. In the background information, you should mention your inspirations… such as the FABULOUS Bograd family that lives next door, specifically your older daughter’s best friend, Megan, and her older brother Josh. Other than that, your website is great!!!
Thanks for your support,
Josh and Megan:)
