***Updated with picture 4/12***So Mommy still doesn't have her camera stuff back from Milwaukee yet, so I can't post any pictures. There are definitely some good ones! But I thought I'd say "Hi" so that Auntie La has something new to read.
Mommy did lots of cooking today. She made fresh avocadoes, carrots, pears, and something called zucchini that I don't get to try until later in the week. She made me sit in my circus and watch her, and I was pretty bored. I can't see what she's doing from way down there! And don't even get me started on that loud, scary machine she uses to cut it all up. I tried to tell her I don't like it, but she kept turning it on anyway! In the end, though, I got to taste some very yummy pears. I don't like pear juice nearly as much as I like apple juice, but pear sauce is just as good as apple sauce!
Pear Puree
Ingredients:
5 lbs pears (any variety)
6 oz thinning liquid
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Halve and core pears. Place cut-side-down in baking pan. Fill pan with about an inch of water.
3. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
4. Once tender, remove from oven and cool slightly.
5. Add to blender, adding some of the water the pears were cooked in to thin the puree out. Pears tend to be watery, so be careful of how much water you add. I pureed them in batches, so I always had more pears to add if I had too much water.
6. Freeze in ice cube trays. I got about 7 cups out of the 5lbs of pears.

Hi, my little man!
Yes, I have been keeping track of what you've been doing for the past week. You've been to like 4 or 5 states that I have yet to venture into and you are 20 years 5 months and 18 days younger than me! You are definitely going to beat me in my quest to get to all 30 states. Maybe if you're lucky, Mom and Dad will take you out to Hawaii in a few years instead of leaving you with Nona or something like that. Not that we don't LOVE our Nona, but we love Hawaii, too!
Anyway, I am glad you are back safe and sound from your trip. It sounds like it was a good time. Thanks for saying hi! Auntie La misses you!!
Jack,
You are just getting more adorable every time I see your picture. I love to come on your blog and see you, even though I don't always post. I am very sorry that you have to listen to those scary machines, I don't like them either. I am glad that you like pears you sound like a good eater. Well, I am going to change the subject, I have just posted on your cousin Emma's blog, and have asked her to talk to you and consider doing me a favor. I thaught you might do a survey or poll to see what others thaught. Here goes. I hate, and I mean hate the name bisnona. Like i told Emma, I am sure you don't know what Pepto Bismal is, and I am sure you would not like it, but that is what bisnona reminds me of. So my favor is, would you consider calling great grandma G.G. instead. Not only do I think it is cuter, but I also think it would be easier for you and Em to say. I want to thank you for considering it for me. I Love You!
Love,
Aunt JoAnn
Dear Aunt JoAnn,
My great-grandma Moose is G.G., but if Bisnona is ok with it, I'll call her whatever she wants. :) Bisnona is kinda hard to say. I'll take a poll and see what everyone else thinks, too.
Love,
Jackson
Jackson,
I hope when your traveling is all through you see more then just 30 states like your auntie la wants you to see. I think all 50 would be a better number. I plan on getting to the rest of the continental states in the next 2 years or so. maybe you can road dog with me when you get a little older buddy

Hi Jack,
I'm glad you had fun on your road trip. I can't wait for you to move back to New York. Well I guess just move to New York since you haven't technically lived here yet. It's awesome! And almost our entire BigHappyFamily lives here.
By the way, I saw the pictures you had taken at the store. You are such a handsome little guy! I can't wait for you to get here so you can play with Em. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun! Are you coming to Beaver River??
Well I have to go to work! You're lucky you don't have to do that for a long time yet! I'm glad you liked the pears that mommy made for you! I love pears too! Well hope you and mommy have a fun day!
Love,
Cousin Carla
Okay, Okay.
Jeez, people. I meant to say FIFTY states by the time I'm THIRTY, but my thoughts got all jumbled and I messed up. I DO aspire to get to all 50 states, and as Mrs. Allen's Queen of Capitals of my 2nd grade class, I think it's safe to say that I do indeed know how many states make up this great country. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
