  2. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! What a great thing to do. Reading through this got me SO excited. You two bloggers are doing a great work, you are living up to what it says in the proclamation where it says "We call upon responsible citizens..... to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society." Good Work. I look forward to this wonderful month!! Yeah!
