Lily has been just ornery--yelling, scratching, or doing whatever is necessary to get anyone with the temerity to cross her. She also sounds like a long-term smoker when she talks.
Elsie is now our sickest child with eyes that make you want to cry when you look at them,
Timmy's been reading and sounding out everything in sight,
Abby made a quarto-sized book for Elsie complete with illustrations, story, and binding,
Kate finally recovered enough to get back to attending school and playing soccer.
Gina worked things out with her favorite midwives in Albuquerque to have the baby with them, and
I made a combination of celery, carrots, chicken, garlic, onions, fish sauce, egg noodles, and a light marinara sauce that I sold to the kids under the name of "Tuscan spaghetti." Amazingly, people loved it.
