* Two beautiful babies are finally here and their families are in love with them! All babies are precious, but these two? They are truly adorable. I really hope they let me post some pictures of them on here.

* A Food Fairy has done something amazing. Someone out there has blessed our family by ordering us LOTS of cases of food on the case lot sale at Broulim’s. They somehow knew just what we needed – tomatoes, V-8 juice (for my zucchini soup), black beans, and tuna fish. Thank you, Thank you, Thank YOU, whoever you are. This is such a generous gift. We were low on all of those things and will put them to good use feeding our family in the months to come. Whoever you are, please know that I will pass on your goodness to someone else in need so that your goodness goes on and on forever.
