I love this!!!!

Brings back so many memories, esp of the day we sat down in my house and tried to come up with ideas for the front cover. Remember the unsuccessful hands lifted to the sky? Hehehe....I'm so glad we chose this one instead!

confession: yea, if you remember this is not the order in which it was created.

we had the sun and sea and sand, Paul and Ethan came only later.
