    Thanks for that. I heard the song that Melissa wrote somewhere online. It was very well done, beautiful. Can’t remember where it was now though. Hope you and Avery and all are well, Alice

    We got to see Steve and Melissa yesterday at the Barnes & Noble event in Manhattan. Melissa is so adorable–and we got her and Rachel to sign the CDs!

    Thanks so much for passing on that article Jennifer! I just read it! I’m actually in charge of our local B&N reading this coming Monday, and am really looking forward to it! Funny about the peas though! (p.s. The ring is on its way!)
