One of the things I forgot to mention in the last post is that the cousins love to make cookies with us. Usually "us" is Katie and I, but last weekend Patrick got roped into the deal. Each older cousin pairs with a younger cousin and bakes the cookie of choice. Patrick and Lucas made Swirl Chocolate Chip Cookies and Emma and I made Sugar Cookies with Frosting (with Sprinkles on the inside like
FunFetti). I didn't realize that Patrick hadn't made cookies in probably 10 years...mix that in with high energy children in a small kitchen and the result is a little chaos and a lot of mess. He did well. The cookies are almost gone :)

Oh, Tessa! I'm worn out just reading all of that! I can imagine the emotional breakdown...I would've been there too! SO happy that you both made it safely! Guess you had a few marriage building experiences, too, huh? :) Oh, and email me your P.O. Box. Love ya!
