Family Vacation 2007

I forgot to bring this up when we were all together, but I talked to Eric and Jason. They didn't seem all that excited about an Ozark vacation so how about everyone come up with some ideas. Let's discuss.

On another note, I'M BACK ON-LINE! yea! Cheryl and I bought a computer so I have time for lots of things including researching a great vacation spot.

Let's make March our deadline to give a deposit on the house. The beginning of March.

Vegan Kolacky

2 2/3 c flour
2 2/3 sticks vegan "butter"
8 oz. Better than Cream Cheese
1 can Solo pie filling

Mix together first 3 ingredients until a dough is formed. Refridgerate at least 1 hour.

Roll out 1/3 dough onto prepared surface with sugar and flour into a thin sheet. Cut into squares and add a dollop of the Solo onto each square. Fold up 2 corners and pinch together.

Bake for 8-10 min. at 350 or until lightly golden brown.


Vegans: You are Welcome.

For Leah

"Babies Don't Keep"

Mother, of Mother, come shake out your cloth
empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
hang out the washing and butter the bread,
sew on a button and make up a bed.

Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue
(lullaby, rockabye, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).

The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
and out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
but I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
for children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

We love you, Leah. You make such a great mom. All God's blessings on you.

Hail! Hail!The Gang's All Here!

Yes, Scott will indeed be gracing us with his presence on Christmas Eve, Eve!

YAY!

Christmas Eve Eve

As of now, we don't know if Scott will be there.

Agreed by Richard and Kari, we will exchange with them. Spend $20/couple.

I hope you are all ready to celebrate kid-style. We are going to sing a couple xmas songs and I fully expect you all to sing your hearts out. Also, we will read a children's book on Christmas for Cal. And sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.
