A hearty "congratulations!" go out to Amber of Crappy Pictures and Jason of DadCentric for being named the readers' pick for funniest Mom Blog and the Editor's Pick for Best Dad Blog, respectively. Good to know we weren't the only ones snarfing our lattes and applauding out loud while reading Crappy Pictures and DadCentric. :)

We've got some great bloggers here on Typepad. If you win an award, please let us know so we can brag, er, tell everyone about it.
