Materpeice... well almost

I made this a long time ago but I wanted to post it. It was my first time baking a lemon meringue pie and boy, does it look good. Too bad it cracked and my niece ate the meringue off before we could cut into it.

Golden Rule: Never leave pies out in plain sight until it's time for dessert!
(Henry got into one and Veronica got into another)

Pictures from vacation....

Thoughts and Prayers

John's college friend Sam Langstaff and his wife Jackie were killed in a car wreck this weekend. A teenager ran the stop sign and hit their SUV which rolled into oncoming traffic and they were hit by a semi truck.
Sam was a great friend to John and I can't believe how fast a life can be over. Sam was just 30 years old and his wife was 29. It makes you realize how short your life is and how much your relationships with others matter.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sam and Jackie & with their family.

It's been awhile.....

I've been out for awhile with this blogging thing. Well, what really happened was I lost my password and we went on vacation & I turned 30. John and I went to Fort Myers, Florida with Susan and Jared Poulsen. They are great friends and we hope they move back to KC some day! My birthday was good- turning 30 isn't so bad, I guess. My mom came down this weekend and we had a little BBQ with Sarah and Jeff.
