Are we still considering an arranged marriage for our kids?

Awwwwww... Peter Jack just gets cuter and cuter ( if that is even possible ). He is turning into such a little man. Those cookies look yummy. We made a batch of cookies this morning too. Between me, Mario & DH I only got 1 before they were all gone! Mario has been on a sugar high all morning. Even right now I put him down for his nap and I hear him jumping in the crib!

Give Peter Jack a Thanksgiving kiss from me & Mario!

Peter Jack is a great Mommies helper, such a sweet blessed boy! I must say the cookies looked pretty darn tastey.
Can you and Peter Jack come to our house to bake and play?
Blessing to you Judy.
