Typos

Julia and I are doing pretty well considering how much Stanley likes to be awake during the night.  However, there are still some indications of just how tired we are, even if we don't want to admit it.  Yesterday we spent a long time on the Costco website putting together a fairly simple greeting card announcement to send out to family and friends.  It has a couple pictures of Stanley and us on it along with 4 lines of text.  Ten words, total.  We put this all together, proof read it and double checked everything and then put in the order for 200 of these cards. 

Needless to say that when we got the cards home and opened them up, we saw a glaring typo on line 3.  It should have read, "Watch him grow at:" and then the blog address.  Instead, it read, "Watch him grown at:" and then the blog address.  Yikes. 

After some cursing and trying to salvage the cards with whiteout, we decided it was hopeless and just ordered another batch with the typo corrected.  Look for this card in your mailboxes sometime in the next year...
