I'm leaving my feedback here.

I printed the story out a few days ago (like the same day it was up for grabs) and then I just let it lie there. Leafing through it every now and then, reading a sentence here and a sentence there... For some reason I just couldn't bring myself to read it and maybe mostly it had something to do with my lack of love for kids.

Anyways, I got round to it eventually and yeah it was awesome. I always was a sucker for your writing and you really excelled yourself. :0) There were so many touching moments and so much real that you made me all fangirl squeeish. (Too few people go for the real... You know that feeling of yeah, this is what it's like).

So I just wanted to say thanks for sharing. You created an awesome world and you wrote them just right!

Thank you!! I know a lot of people aren't fond of kidfic, and to be honest, I, myself, HATE kids, so I knew that was a pretty likely scenario going into it, but definitely, yeah, I wanted to write something that felt real in a way you don't usually see. I'm just happy people are giving it a chance, and thank you again for reading :)

I know I haven't commented on your fic yet, but I just read it and tear up, all happy and loving this fic and then read it again. So I just wanted to let you know that I've rec'd your fic over here! Thank you, Andrea, for this story.

Ok seriously, how much do I love the fact that not only is this set in Chicago, but also that they happen to live in my FAVORITE neighborhood, Belmont. All he landmarks and stores are so familiar. I love that Jen took Charlie to the bean and Jared to the American Girls Store (which I would't touch with a ten foot pole).

I really love this fic though. It's very cute, them being all married with children. It's a good thing. lol

Thank you! Boystown is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. I lived in Hyde Park for 6 years (never rich enough to move north :P) and I just love the city.

I didn't see a seperate place to send affectingly love, so I'm just going to leave some here and hope she sees it.

I really love the banner you made. Those two girls are amazing and beautiful and I love the Chicago skyline and the pictures you have to the boys. It just really works well with the story. Thank you.

Omg just found this and really really well written. I really liked how you didn't just make it seem like everything was perfect and that they sitll had their share of problems. Sometimes in fanfiction you don't see that.

Thank you so much :) You've gotta have conflict for a good story! I just wanted it to be realistic.
