Great New Movie

So I just found out that tomorrow (well, technically today, Wednesday, but I’m going to sleep between now and then…) there will be a free screening of The Errand of Angels at Thanksgiving Point at 7:30pm. This is a great new movie that Cory’s work will be putting it in theaters this fall, and [...]

Making Cookies Is Fun To Do

So back before my computer crashed, Breanne and I made some cookies while Janey was taking a nap. It was a lot of fun, and Breanne was super cute, so I snapped a few photos, of course…
