Lincoln, Mr. & Mrs. Wicke, Logan, & Griffin
Welcome
Ironically, since I'm a Mormon, I don't even drink tea. It was my husband, who, over the selection of Christmas cards early in our marriage, told me that my life was "like a little tea party." I didn't know what he meant then and still don't, but I do know that this "tea party" I'm living is bigger, better, messier, and tastier than I ever could have imagined. I'm just trying to record it so I can remember some of the details when the party winds down a bit.
