The Best Breakfast EVER (and other stories)

It all started this morning when Mom opened the fridge to find that there was no milk to go with our usual cereal. No eggs, either, which are our typical alternate breakfast.

Mom announced it to the kids and could tell right away that the only part of it they'd heard was the word "sugar;" they definitely approved.



Seeing that Mom had the camera out, Amanda requested that another bit of news be recorded: she now knows how to tie shoes all by herself, thanks to instruction from Dad. Here she is tying . . .

And here's Lydia happy to meet Grandma, too.
