I was supposed to be home 30 minutes ago to swap Doug babysitting so he could play ward basketball tonight. As I walked in the door he said, "It is hard to love you when you are so late!" So I figure if I praise him to the mountain top he might forgive me! Here is my attempt to earn back the heart of Doug Lewis.
After passing his exams Monday and Tuesday with flying colors, I had Doug all to myself to enjoy for the rest of the week! We enjoyed taking Cal to the zoo for his first time w/ the Low's.
Cal thoroughly enjoyed brushing the goats until it ran away from him after he started hitting the goat. 
First merry-go-round adventure.

Doug worked for 2 days on our fences in the backyard before our neighbor came running out to tell us that her insurance said they would cover our side too!
Sorry to Clarke and Chase for their wasted service!
One of my favorite highlights of the 5 days was when Doug announced that he wanted to make Sunday dinner! He looked through my recipe books, picked a Basil Chicken in a Coconut-Curry, grocery shopped for the hard to find ingredients (and only called me 4 times from the store), and cooked up a FABULOUS meal for me. He thinks he wants to start a new fast Sunday tradition! (I happily accepted!)
This recipe called for 13 different spices. It was no easy feat.
Doug is really doing such a wonderful job balancing school and Cal and I. I am amazed at how much he gets done in 1 day. He is so happy all the time and is optimistic about everything. I love you honey! How did I do...

Nice job Annie, he'll totally forget he was ever frustrated with you being late!! Oh how we miss you guys.
I'm sorry you were late, but it sure was fun having you! I probably should feel bad... :)
Your family is adorable and we sure love hanging out with you.
You definitely know the way to Doug's heart :) I am sure he will love the post. Make sure you email everyone to let them know they need to read the post. Just kidding, Doug.
No mashed potatoes with that chicken curry? I have to add that the meal was very, very delicious - thanks for saving us a couple bites. Maybe we'll get invited over for next fast Sunday.
Love, buddy Anna

Ha Ha. That meal was very good that he made. Callin is the cutest thing ever! It looks like he had fun at the zoo.
It sure was nice to have our husbands home for so long!
Oh ADouger! He should forgive you for sure now!
P.S. Brynlie's hair has a little bit of natural curl in it so I just put gel in it when she gets out of the top in the morning. It takes about 10 seconds! :)
Annie - you are amazing. The both of you are so optimistic. I am trying to be more like you. It is a good thing to include all the reasons we love our cute husbands. I think I forget to tell mine as often as I should. Thanks for the reminder.
I am definitely impressed! I wish we had spent more time getting to know Doug better while you guys were still here. We sure miss you, and we'll be so happy to see you after Christmas!
Holy toledo Batman! You are pretty impressive Doug! I can't believe you made that dinner! Nice going. Annie, you are pretty impressive too... :) I loved the med student & cadaver costumes. You guys are also so creative at Halloween. love you!
That's so fun, such great times!
I'm sold...but I wasn't sold on the new haircut...Doug, haven't we learned anything about buzzes since the 7th grade?
PS- I would like a sample of that meal when we visit in a few weeks :)
