First i would like to announce to the public that my Mother is a fantastic cook and anyone who disagrees about this needs to come over for dinner (when we are not having potstickers!)
I love reading your comments. You're not a bad writer--your blogs are all very well written--informative, interesting, and reflective. Love the pictures and quotes. Thanks for sharing. Mom
Okay this post made me cry. I am thankful for my awesome sister and brother in law and their beautiful children whom Libby adores and talks about all the time. I will miss you this Thanksgiving and wish you were here to take care of me.
