Big Boy...

So my baby boy is becoming a big boy...all on his own it seems. He used the potty THREE times tonight...although with all his excitement of using the potty, I was a little nervous he was going to get a hemorrhoid or something. There was just a little too much pushing going on. Is that normal?? Hopefully this keeps moving forward, this is the most excited he has been about it. But we are leaving for Florida on Thursday...hoping that does not put an end to this new adventure!
Yay Aidan!

Cheers!

Wow, 4 years has gone by already. I can't believe it, although it still seems like much longer sometimes! So much has happened in those four years...mainly two little precious babies, I can't imagine life without. I can't wait to see what God has in store for the next four...
Here's to life with my best friend! Cheers!!

Look what came in the mail today...

All of this delicious Katie Jump Rope...



Yes, I got it off the internet...after someone (Leslie) talked me into doing this. I have seriously been dying for this fabric and of course it is discontinued since I got into this sewing game SO late...I still didn't get the green circle dot that I absolutely LOVE but I got blue. That will do. Anyways, I thought this to be MY perfect choice for a quilt. Of course, I have no idea when I will even think about starting.

What's the deal?

So, I decided to stop by this place today, after we went to Target. Thought I would figure out what all the "cherry limeade" hype was about. I don't get it. :) (Sorry Leslie!) ...well actually I got cranberry (maybe that was the problem). I think its just that artificial flavoring-gives me headaches. Bummer, because I love me some cranberry. Guess I'll have to try the slush next time.

Mixed-Berry Dutch Baby

This is what I made for breakfast this morning...oh yum. So good.

3 large eggs
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup milk
2 cups raspberries
2 cups blackberries (I used blueberries and strawberries here)
4 TBS unsalted butter
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and heat a 10-in cast-iron skillet over moderate heat. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the lemon zest, sugar and salt until combined. Add the flour and milk and whisk until smooth. Add 1 cup each of raspberries and blackberries (I equally divided raspberries, strawberries and blueberries to make 2 cups!)

Melt the butter in the skillet and add the batter, spreading the fruit evenly. Bake in the center of the oven for about 22 minutes, until the edges are browned and puffed and the center is lightly browned in spots. Cut into wedges and serve with remaining berries. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Milestones...

Today my baby girl rolled over! From back to tummy...she is 3 months and 1 week!

This is the worlds most HORRIBLE picture...taken on my cell phone. Bummer no camera around at that moment.
