sorry to my Xanga buddies that I have been neglectful on this site. I don't know why I haven't gotten on here lately. To all of those who do not go on facebook very often here are some things happening in the Lederer household as of late. This past weekend was my brother Mark's wedding. I am very happy to have Susan a part of our lives now. God does answer prayers. This is something that so many of us have been praying for over the years for the both of them. I really believe it is like my "crock-pot" theory though. The meat was not ready...to be served. It had to be seasoned just right...and now the timer has gone off...and the dinner is done. For those who need further explanation I can explain. (I had this dream of the crock-pot theory of love in the 90's about Roger Wayne and Karen, but it wasn't about them obviously...it was meant for Mark and Susie..lol) I do wish Dad could have been there to be a part of it. He would have counted everyone there...talked about the nice things people said..and said it was a nice gathering of 400 people or so.Thank you to all of those who came. Sorry about the food mix-up. I'm not for sure why the hotel did it like that. But I'm glad we were able to witness the happiness of two becoming one who truly love the Lord. What a blessing!

Another exciting thing that has happened...is my Stepdaughter Taylor is now living with us fulltime and is out of a bad situation. Once again God answers prayers! It made for a difficult summer with all of the legal matters, but now that we are through it we are so happy. She started school here as a freshman at Truman and continues to thrive. Mollie started the second grade. She takes after her Uncle Mark and happens to do well in the areas of math and science. (which were never my areas of expertise.) McKenzie is in Kindergarten and provides plenty of stories to fill my facebook page from day to day. lol (some good and some not-so-good.) But just like her mother, she is a work in progress. We will get through it.

I will try to be better and check xanga more often...and try to post. 

well, I can't believe it but I will be taking my youngest to kindergarten roundup this week. We will see how it goes...I know they will say she needs help skipping/gross motor skills. She adds another hop in there somewhere. But as far as number and letters we're doing fine. Sometimes she turns a few of them backward still...but we are working on that. She is kind of funny when asking questions about it...."I'll just tell them I already know that ABC stuff." I told her they are going to teach her quite a bit more with those letters. It will be Amazing! "Amazing? Mom, that starts with an A." What other things can you spell? "R-E-D  RED R-E-D Red I can spell RED, " Mollie taught it to me mom. Good Job...Keep up the good work Kenz

Kenzie's prayer today at lunch...

"Dear Heavenly Father....Thank you for the food...thank you for Susan...In Jesus'  name, Amen."

She has been thinking of her soon-to-be Aunt a lot....
