"A Simple Recipe"



Here's a video of Eddie reciting a poem from the Friend magazine. He loves this poem! Back in March, he could recite practically the whole thing by himself. I have included the poem so you can tell what he is saying (he gets pretty camera-shy when making movies).

Jane Lamb, “A Simple Recipe,” Friend, Mar 2009, 27

I know a simple recipe that anyone can make.
It isn’t for an apple pie; it isn’t for a cake.
You need not stir in sugar. Don’t add a pinch of salt.
It isn’t for a cookie. It isn’t for a malt.
It comes from Heavenly Father, who watches from above.
You start with just your family; add kindness, faith, and love.
Throw in some joy and laughter, and of course a cup of care.
Don’t forget to add the sharing and a generous dose of prayer.
Make sure you stir it really well, so everyone can see
You’ve made a happy, loving home from this simple recipe.

That is so sweet! Melanie, your boys are growing so fast and they're so cute! I can't believe Peter is already facing forward in the car! Time flies way too quickly. What a cute picture of them on Mother's Day! And of you too! :) I hope all is going well for you!
