See...hubby is slowly being pulled into our fold! :-) The husbands just don't know it (shhhhh...don't tip them off!), but they will soon become one of "us." Slow & steady wins the race...we'll just let them fold in naturally! My husband actually came up with the idea for the pink ribbon on my centerpiece this past week. He called it a "sash", but he at least put the idea in my head.
