I think she always will too. Even if Felix stops saying it, he will always feel it in his heart:) <br /><br />Joanne, I think love makes any dish better, especially the love of our kids. I love how your daughter chooses music to go with her cooking:)<br /><br />Lisa, thank you for that. One of the best things about blogging is getting to know about our respective kids. I feel so privileged to hear about your boys too:)<br /><br />Melissa, Thank you. Give a hug to that beautiful girl of yours from me:)Valerie Boersmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08372768206512562126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-76999944041992893552011-11-16T09:21:57.552-08:002011-11-16T09:21:57.552-08:00Beautiful. :-)Beautiful. :-)Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-72746659268360422372011-11-16T07:53:02.445-08:002011-11-16T07:53:02.445-08:00Amy is just the sweetest daughter.

When my daughter cooks, she selects just the right music as she prepares the food, telling us as we have the meal that Sinatra accompanied it, or Christmas carols, or whatever vibe she wanted to add to the cooking :)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326860682126929175.post-82325367345380027212011-11-16T06:21:27.570-08:002011-11-16T06:21:27.570-08:00And a butternut squash brings tears to my eyes.

I hope hard for that, but I fear it's different with boys, and I'll be "Mom" before too long.<br /><br />Write on, Valerie!Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05407917830307384493noreply@blogger.com
