"You can kid the world. But not your sister."

My sister, Sissy (the one in Seattle), sent this to me. She is an amazing scrapbooker. In fact, last time I was there, it took DAYS to look through all of her albums. Like me, she has been scrapbooking before there were actually stores for the task. We've been cutting things out of magazines, etc. forever. I love this page that she created. I haven't even printed out the pictures yet, but I am anxious to scrapbook Ollie's life joining ours.

Last night was bookclub, and I had a great time. There were only four of us, but I was thrilled for the company. And, of course, Matty's dessert. We had hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries, pound cake with ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream. YUM! I am so glad that I decided to go ahead with the bookclub when I thought about it at New Year's. I've always wanted one, and I am glad that people are interested. Plus, it is cool to see who will show up each month. Last night our conversation was pretty off topic, but with Pillars of the Earth, almost anything is actually vaguely related.

Heather's going to email me the new book choice. She told us about it last night and it sounds interesting and LIGHTER. I'm proud of our eclectic choices so far! Anyway, I'm going to feed Ollie. We walked Zoey over to Nana's house (about 5 blocks) and it was beautiful. I think I'm taking his "lunch" to the back porch!

More later. The weekend looks like it will be beautiful as well. Pray for nice weather for Zoey's fiesta birthday party (April 26th). She has gotten lots of responses to her invitations, so I am glad that she will have the big party that she wanted. I can't believe that she will be three. I also can't believe that she is ONLY three.

This is way to much... I am so jealous, I want to come to your house for a book club, I want to eat Matt's good cooking - I simply miss you my dear and wonderful sister.
