All of it is quite amusing to me. And

My dear middle child turned TWO last week. And her two loves in life are cookies and hats followed by Elmo. In learning about my new cubicle-mate, Kim, I quickly discovered how talented she is outside of the office. She and her husband knit among many other things. And her pricing is extremely reasonable.
