Whew! It’s been a blast, folks, and I want to thank everyone who kept me company over these past 24 hours. (I especially want to thank my beautiful, loving, and all-around wonderful wife, Nicole, for covering for me yesterday morning! I owe you one dozens, Babe! ;))

Once I’m rested up, I’ll tally the results for the comment contests I was running. There’s still time to get in there! I’ll cut off comment counting after 9am Eastern, so anything between now and then still counts.

Well, time to get ready for church. Please pray that the 3- and 4-year-olds survive my sleep-deprived silliness!

So as this not-so-subtle tombstone reads, “Bye!”

This little event is about to come to a close, and I’m thanking God that I’ve been able to stay awake through it!

frykitty over at the Blogathon blog asked, “will you do it again next year?” At this point I’d have to say YES! I’ve been through a trial by fire and I’ve survived — but just like any refining fire, it’s helped me see more clearly what is dross. Not only do I feel like I understand better how to prepare for an event like this, I also think I’m getting a better grasp on how to approach blogging, period.

Next year I plan to be “back and better than ever.” This has certainly been a fun experience!

I just wanted to share the cuteness that is my little baby boy…

(Must… stay… awake!)

Joshua’s up! But only for a few minutes. He’s actually been trying his hardest to lull me to sleep, the stinker! He’s just so cuddly and impossible to resist! (He’s warm, too!) I set him on my chest, and it’s bye-bye Blogathon. That boy’s my kryptonite…

Okay, okay… if it keeps folks awake, I might be willing to let y’all have a peek at the new look for the blog. I’m still building it, though… and right now it’s only been tested on Firefox 1.5.0.5 on a PC, so I don’t expect it to be bug-free.

Check it out. Then come back here and tell me what you think…
