We have had Cameron and Kennedy with us two times. The pictures are from the reunion two weeks ago. We love them all and are so happy. May we introduce them to you.

Happy Birthday Faith: Devil's Food Cake
Faith made this wonderful recipe for her school birthday treat. We watched this episode on TV. It is very tasty, not difficult and a good use for the cocoa you got for Christmas.
Sorry, none of the pictures that Emy and Angie are famous for.

Silver party
Wanted to put these up for Jamie and Amy and Peter, since they couldn't be there with us. We missed you! We had a really beautiful lunch and then picked out silver, for you guys too.
Angie's place settings
Thank you Mom! We are enjoying this silverware every single day and thinking of you when we use it. My favorite is the little silver spoons the kids eat their cereal with.

Some of Mom's Disney
These are just a few of my favorites. You all know that I'm techno challenged. I cropped these and fixed the red eyes, etc. in Picasso and the unedited ones downloaded. I don't get it. Okay I have lots of pictures, if you want a CD I'll make you one. Love you all MOM
