Grace and Kessed love to read books and Papa Dan is always ready to read with them! Apparently Kessed wasn’t as interested in the story as the other two were!

Playing with Aunt Bek and Chris 0
Living in cold Northwest Missouri, the girls were delighted to get to spend a lot of time outside during our trip to Alabama. After the girls had fun baking with Aunt Bek, we got to go to the college we all went to (where she works now) and have lunch. The girls enjoy going there because the have great soft-serve ice cream (and lots of other great food)! We got to meet Aunt Bekah’s boyfriend, Chris, and have lunch with him, also. The girls were shy with Chris at first, but it didn’t take long for them to get warmed up! Before long Grace was giving him instructions on how to run a race. They had lots of fun racing around the school’s grassy area and playing together.

Baking with Aunt Bekah 2
My girls LOVE to bake……..unfortunately I don’t! I’m more of a “main course” type cook! That’s my favorite part to eat…….I don’t like dessert too much, so therefore I don’t like to bake or make many desserts. The only kind of dough my girls get to mess with at home is pizza dough, so it’s always fun when we visit family (or family visits us) for the girls to get to make cookies or something like that! While we were in Alabama, we spent our first full day there with Aunt Bekah (Micah’s sister) and the girls had a BLAST getting to bake with her. She’s an excellent baker – we always said we’d do well cooking together – I’d serve the meal, then she’d do dessert! The girls got to make cookies and then chocolate chip rice krispy treats!
