today...

...I burnt my hand, and felt sorry for myself. But really. it isn't too bad. and I am thankful that I am pretty heal-able. and that I won't be without a right hand for long.

Luke got a new computer. a Macbook pro. It is pretty exciting. I think he might even let me play with it before next year. Just kidding! I did get to a little tonight. (while he was on the phone)

I watched the Dick Van Dyke Show. It is pretty funny. Luke has netflix and some things you can watch instantly. that is one of them.

I did do other things too.

But these are the most interesting.

Have a marvelous evening.

Pumpkin bar cupcakes.

I like cupcakes. I've been making them a lot lately. They are just cute and fun and then you don't have to cut the cake.

Actually I like to cut cakes. with squiggles. although that seems to bother some people.

Maybe that is why I do cupcakes.

So I don't bother their rhythm of perfect symmetry.

They were good.

A visit.

On Friday I rode down to visit the Edwards with the Cobbs.

It was a lovely quick trip.

Harrison and Jonathan playing Wii,

I played the sword fighting game with Gregory and an airplane flying one. :)

Travis had said that his arm hurt from fighting with Gregory, I didn't really believe him, but after I had lost (twice) to Gregory, I had a pretty sore arm too.

Mara and Margaret telling a story.

about princesses I believe.


Anna making marshmallows. They were quite delicious.

We also went sledding. It was a lovely lovely day.

Miss Megan

Gregory elf.

Margaret, Beatrice and Mara.

The End.

January Babies

These two came early this year. But it was a wonderful day to do so, It is 36 Degrees. :)

The darker one is a boy and the lighter is a girl.
