Okay Everyone. This is my mom's cookbook. You should all check out her website. It is the most beautiful cookbook ever! It's true talent and a lot, a lot of hard work compiled into one book. Check it out by clicking on www.thegatheringoffriends.com in my right column.

We are having a lot of fun (and yes, of course more hard work!) promoting the book. Good Luck MOM!!!!

Happy Lincoln!

I'm not always the most patient mom, or the most loving wife, or the best best friend, or the most selfless servant. Nor am I good at everything I attempt to do. But I will say this.... I am happy. I'm happy for millions of reasons.... My amazing kids that have the capacity to think that EVERYTHING is somehow incredible. They appreciate the simplest of pleasures. Take the look on Lincoln's face for example, I asked him how his cracker was that he was eating and he gave me this beautiful smile when he said, "Really good!" It's just a cracker! But he has the gift of making it seem like he just won the lottery. There is a definite reason that we are told to be like little children.

May we all recognize the good in EVERYTHING and share it with others.

1st Day of Preschool!

It seems crazy to think that our little girl has begun preschool! She has absolutely no reservations about going. She is just excited! It is the cutest place! A friend in our ward, Lisa, told me about it and said her girls were going there. Lezlee goes each morning from 8:30 to 11, then comes home and eats lunch and then crashes in her bed. It's wonderful for everyone!

Spence and I were going through her backpack on her first day (last Tuesday)and couldn't believe that we were looking at our daughters school work! Total cliche but my oh my, how the time flies!
