Kumquats and such

Last Sunday, Morgan and Kevin were back in town, so we opted out of church and had brunch with the family! In typical Goodale fashion, we had to have some great brunch cocktails, so Rick made his famous Bloody Marys and they were garnished with skewers of stuffed olives & spam, celery, and PEPPERED BACON!!! Delicious! Reagan was so happy to see Morgan! It only took her a second before she was climbing up into Mork's lap and tugging on her sleeve to "come play with me!"

Enjoying the fruits of her labor... First thing in the morning, Savan...
