Have we mentioned our favorite thing about living in Memphis?

My brother Joey and his fine wife, Katie. When we tell people that my brother moved here one week before us they say, "What an amazing coincidence!" And we say, "No, that's the best part. It was planned." Joey graduated from U of Maryland Dental School in May and hesitated to move back to Utah because of the glut of dentists there. Dentistry is the perfect Mormon profession--low amounts of work hours and stress, high amounts of family time and mullah. So he decided to live somewhere else, near non-Utah family, to pay off school debt and build up a nest egg. And we are the lucky neighbors! It's such a treat for us because in our 14 years of marriage/Navy life, we've never lived LESS THAN A MILE from family! Whoo-hoo! They are brave because we are a loud rambunctious group!
Above they are making us Pancake Puffs for Sunday morning breakfast.
And here's Tal licking the plate at that yummy feast!

I think Sarah just called Joey & Katie "things." Hmmm.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!! How nice to be spotlighted on the Snollygoster Roster. We're famous! We read this right before going to bed last night and felt very special, very special indeed.

Are pancake puffs the same as ebelskivers? If so, perhaps Katie & Joey could send a recipe my way. I asked for an ebelskiver pan for my birthday this year. Of course I will only need the recipe if Matt picked up on the one million hints I dropped!

How fun to live so close to family. Also, great job on your triathlon. I am so proud of you. I am glad you liked it. It is for sure one of my loves.
I also love your pool. Do the boys just love it? Loves

You guys look like you are living the life out there in Tennessee! I am so happy for you and your family! The pool looks awesome! Is the weather still warm enough to swim in? Just an FYI, Scott has bought Power Grid and has played it about four times with several different people. I believe that Patrick McVey and the Edwards family is quite addicted!
