Anyone else sick and tired of Beth hogging up all of the attention on this blog??? I mean, EVERYDAY it’s all about Beth!  Right??  Who’s with me? Hello? Anyone?

Fired up that I found two increible taco joints in Cleveland, on back to back days. Las Americas in Bedford  (Thanks Smiths and Pattersons) and Taco Tontos in Kent (Thanks Talentinos).

Lovely update. Your family follows in Beth's footsteps of having fun musical taste. Sweet Poppy! Animal companions are such angels who feel our distress and want to give comfort. Once when I was worried about something and in tears, my cat followed me around the house biting at me as if to say, "Snap out of it!"

Take good care!
Love from Elena & the Jensons

Lol! This post was great. All of them are great but I have a few comments that I can't keep to myself on this one.
1. Your children seem awesome, just like we all thought you, Chad and Ryan were awesome when we were growing up across the street from you maniacs.
2. Tell Lily I can help her with her puppy goals ANYTIME.
3. Tell your mom hello and that her love and support are an amazing gift to give to all of you.
4. This blog has given me an insight into life that makes me feel gratitude or everyday that has been and will be, and sadness at the same time, but it also makes me feel like I know your family so much more than I ever thought I would have.
5. Give Beth a hug from me. Because I would really like to do it myself, but were a little too far apart for all that.
