Time to make cookies. We all like to bake them (even Alex) but most of all we love to eat them. The boys always want to jump in and help while I am baking. Cracking the eggs is one of their favorite ingredients to add, and they pretty much have mastered it. Making cookies has been an activity that has always brought us together in the kitchen.

" Allie and Alex are an absolutely wonderful couple. They are honest, kind, accepting, and positive people. They’re so fun to be around. Their love for each other and their boys is the first thing you notice about them, and their commitment to their sweet little family is so beautiful. As parents, Allie and Alex are full of love and warmth. They are so good to their two boys. Alex is their hero and teaches them to work by his example. He is a kind and patient dad and very fun. He is raising his boys to be good men by how they see him treat their mother. Allie is the sweetest. She is an amazing mom. She takes time with each of her children individually and gives them lots of attention. She is one of the most well-adjusted, capable mothers I have ever met. She is such a gentle and welcoming woman and it shows in her mothering. Allie and Alex absolutely want what is best for their children, and go to great lengths to ensure their happiness and well-being. They’re providing such a safe, stable, and loving environment for their children to grow up in. I have watched Allie and Alex face hardships and loss, and have learned so much from them about grace and faith. They definitely lean on each other through hard times, growing together and coming out stronger each time. They’re also both so strong and positive individually. Allie and Alex have so much love to give (to everyone), and so much room in their hearts. They find so much joy as a family and I know they long to add to it. "
