Katie, you crack me up! Your ears must be burning cause my mom and I have been talking about you all night. I have to bring cookies for church tomorrow, and I was trying so hard to make them pretty shapes. We couldn't help but think of your mama's PERFECTLY shaped heart cookies. We bet that your cookies are perfect as well! I need cookie design lessons! Mine ended up as blobby stars, but it's the thought that counts right?

when me and shaf were there, we went outside with the boys and there were lots of fireflies, and calvin wanted to catch them so much. we caught several, but let them go after a bit, so that we couldn't hurt them. we might be too rough and break off their wings; that's when we decided that if they couldn't fly they would be firewalks instead of fireflies.
