amazing.

merry christmas to me!!

just wait until you guys see it in person.

Katie and Will's House

Be sure to say a little prayer for Katie and Will's house to go through. There's a problem with a second lien that was discovered on the house which seems to be gumming up the works a bit. But the power of prayer is great...

Also, remember sick little Max in your prayers too. Those ear infections are treacherous for sure. It's strange to see so much unstoppable energy brought to a halt just like that...

Yummy recipes!

Here are two great recipes that we loved!

A scrumptious Pumpkin Roll (For rolling up, follow directions using foil and then parchment in the first comment.)

A savory Spinach Bacon Pasta Toss (Scroll down to November 12) healthy and colorful...(Sarah you may have to remove tomatoes for Chris, but they make it so good. I added sauteed mushrooms and used Olive Tree dressing but any Italian dressing would work.)

Oh, Michael...

This is a deleted scene from the office. The first part is awesome!

Roma the Ballerina

I just wanted you all to see this photo of Mom as a ballerina. I think she was in her early teens, maybe only 12 or 13. Katie is using this for a present for Mom, but I didn't know if you all had seen it or not. It's sad as Mom's memories fade how many details we lose like the date or place that things happened. She still knows us all, though, so that's good. I think she associates me with chocolate these days because I often bring her snack-size bars or M&M's. The other day she even said, "Do you have any chocolate?" right out of the blue! And luckily, I did!
