Cakes, Carpet and Cameras

Hey Kids!

Well, it's been a super long time since we have updated this, but I just had a few things I wanted to share, and this seemed like the best place.

Janelle had a bake sale at Eastgate a few weeks ago and I used my new cupcake pan from Christmas (thank you!) as well as the cake-pop cookbook to make some goodies for it. Here's some of the photos:





The bake sale went super well (but Janelle will probably want to give you all the details), and she raised a bunch of money which she used to buy new tables for the kids rooms.

Also, we finally got new front room carpet...here's before and after photos:




It may be sort of hard to tell, but the new carpet is sort of an olive-green shaggy-style...it's super soft and we avoid it at all costs...seriously, dad & I walk through the dining room and family room in hopes that it will last.

One more thing: my dad sent me a web camera and your dad & I were thinking that we should do an occasional family video chat. Does anyone need a web cam? If you do, we would be happy to send one your way, otherwise, what will be the best time for everyone?

Between dad & I, any evening except Wednesday would be fine...any Saturday except the 3rd Saturday would be good. Just let us know and we will try to do a family hangout on google.

We miss all you kids so much and look forward to talking/seeing you again soon-

Mom
