Some recent visitors we have had this month.

Here's a before and after picture of Lynn. He has lost 30 pounds and we are all very proud of him.

We drove to New Mexico over Labor Day weekend to visit Lynn's mom; his brother, Brian and family; his sister, Alina and family; and Nick and Lynsey.

I decided to try making the grand prize cookie recipe from Pillsbury's latest bake-off contest. The light colored cookies are the actual recipe and the chocolate cookies are with my modifications. They are extremely good. Here's the link for the recipe. http://www.pillsbury.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=44842 Oh, and by the way. The winner won a million dollars.

We just got back from a wonderful vacation visiting my family and Lynn's brother and his family. We were able to tour Philadelphia and Washington DC. and see many of the historical things our kids have been reading about in their school books for all of these years.

Frog Blog

Liz and Dave were swimming in the pool a few days ago and suddenly realized they weren't alone. This morning we discovered there's actually a pair of frogs that have taken up residence. So now we get to play "Wild Kingdom". We will catch and release them to a better place.
