If I fished anywhere but Eagle, I'd likely give a donation of a day of guiding...since I don't, I will come up with something!!!
You guys are an awesome bunch!!!!

Location: NW burbs of Chicago | Hi,
We just received our cookbook that Mason's family put together, and I have two things to say.
One, the love this family has for each other is apparent on the pages of this book. Not only must Mason have been a special baby, but he was lucky to have been born into what seems to be a special family. My thoughts are with them during this sad time.
But for those of you who were thinking about the book, this is a great cookbook, as it not only has recipes but also recipes for some kid's craft stuff (like spray chalk and finger paints) that I can't wait to do with my nephew!
