Spanglish? York Peppermint patties? You ought to be ashamed.
You forgot under talent: Hostess. You probably have more visitors come through and stay at your house than a motel 6. There is always room for one more (30+ now with the barn) and always yum yummy food.
And what about your talent of giving your shoes and clothes away to your little sister every time she comes to visit. Speaking of, I'm looking forward to those maternity clothes...
I agree with Daisy. And my favorite part to read was that you never cease to amaze yourself with your cooking. My favorite. Also, faux cleaning. I think I'm pretty good at that too. It's all about appearances for me.
Hi Emily! Please help me! I'm severely technically challenged and cannot figure out how to e-mail you from your blog. Am I doing it right now?
We want to THANK YOU and the kids for the wonderful care package we got yesterday. Ben and Mimi have not put their journals down since we opened the box and after looking at your pictures they would like to come live with you! Camping is a MUST! We LOVE the Trader Joe's treats - our favorite store that we are deprived of in Utah.
Todd is doing very well in his GBS recovery efforts in the rehabilitation unit of the U of U Hospital. He had an early Christmas miracle today.....Coke on ice and real food after 3+ weeks. He's also having superb physical therapy sessions - today he stood at the parallel bars and took a few assisted steps.
Is this all too much personal information for a blog? Obviously this is a first for me! Send me your e-mail if this isn't it.
Love, Amy
