If Dan didn’t make a living singing, he could make a great living baking bread.  His “new favorite” recipe for bread requires no kneading!  This deserves, and will get, a post of its own.  Today I hope to be home when he puts it together and get my hands in the dough.  He insists it is the easiest thing.  And it tastes glorious!

So tonight is a little taste of heaven.  Grandpa and Grandma are back from a trip, all the kids will be here and Dan and Val are here.  Twelve around the table!  We will be entertained by Gavin the Great.  Here’s a 5 second sample of his wacky humor.  He’s popping bubbles from bubble wrap and then making some inexplicable dramatic faces.  So it’s been a week of joy and sorrow, reunion and separation, putting together and taking apart.
