Stuntin Like Mufasa

Dear Becca,
This past week has been a lil crazy craze, which is no legitimate excuse for my lack of posts, so forgive me. I'm slackin hard!
(Just a quick image: I cannot believe how much I'm sweating in the kitchen right now, it's gotta be 80 degrees in the house, and I can barely here my thoughts over Oprah hollerin bout the Oscars.)
Jericho Grayson Skogen, child of the covenant baptized in His name most Holy! The weekend was overwhelmingly sweet. I was continuously flushed with affection for all the many people we had venturing in and out of our house, neighborhood, and Pines. Lindsey's parents, Shelley, Mike and baby Banjo-man, Catie's Dad David, wife Cam and precious Grandmother all came in town for the occasion celebrated in typical glorious Skogen fashion. Chocolate cakes, truffles, pies, Mom's melvins, homemade rolls, dips, and various appetizers swelled into all three of the Skogen houses. No matter where I went, there was some aroma intense enough for me to succumb to indulging myself, (in the name of celebration of course). The weather was spectacular enough (Thank God!) for everyone to filter to the back deck/gazebo area, which has become such a blessed attribute! Babaganoosh bought a huge table and many comfortable chairs, making it a much desired place to fellowship. Julie and Scott Davenport (along with all six kids) made their way from Charlotte for the event, which was absolutely wonderful! I loved getting to see their family again, and their little girls Ellie and Bonnie are just precious. I have a feeling they are gonna be pretty ideal best friends in Peru.
The service itself was gorgeous. Joseph was a smiling devil up in front of the congregation. No doubt he spotted his section of fans, and just had to perform for them as if on stage. Being honest, I couldn't really focus on what was being said, his winning smile is just too charming. Poor Linds could barely keep him still, for when that boy gets the spotlight he can hardly contain his need to entertain.
I have so enjoyed the time I've got to spend with Caleb lately. Throughout the week many of the family was occupied with various things, and it made for some very fun, (funny) bro sis time.
Now this week is what has the jitters making their way inside me. Thursday night is girls night out for Catie, Bonnie and I. Ever since unwrapping those Brian Reagan tickets for Christmas, we all have been antsy to see him live. Then on Friday Amelia Crouch flies into Raleigh at 10:15am. The past year has been long without a single sight of her, so you can imagine how amped I am to see her bright, cheery lil face! That weekend I show her off to the Pines then of course Nueva York on Sunday! It's going to be the trip of the year, and quite the graduation gift. I'm bringing Catie's old camera, since mine broke (not that Amelia won't have her bajillion dollar professional photographer's camera) so I'll put some pictures captured by Moi next weekend.
Now that my hand is cramping and all I have covered is objective facts about my current life, I shall post again when I''m rested! (Frankly, putting off homework till after the Oscar's was just about the most dumb bunny thing I could have done.)
Love you dear

Sincerely,
Annie
