Update

I've had so many things that I wanted to share these past two weeks, but... my computer decided to throw a hissy fit, and refused to communicate with my camera. Apparently they've worked it out, with no intervention from mom. Phew... let's cross our fingers, wish on our lucky star, that they (my computer and camera) can continue to get along.

I have a few photos I'd like to share:

Noah and Jaime went on their first father/son snowboarding trip. I was very excited about this!!


Jaime found a Robin egg (I think??) in our backyard. It is now sitting on top of our fridge and I'm panicked, checking it a hundred times a day to see if we have a baby chick. It has such a beautiful color!


Noah turned 6!!! What a little, I mean BIG, boy he has become in this past year. He is starting to read and has matured quite a bit. I am very excited to experience all of the wonderful things this next year has in store for us.


We attempted to make a roulade cake for his birthday, but it didn't turn out. It looked more like a giant smashed chocolate burrito, than a birthday cake. It may have not been pretty, but it sure did taste great!! I think I know where we went wrong and we'll try again.



Although it is Spring, and has been for a while now, we are still freezing up here in the Pacific Northwest! We marveled at several hail storms this past weekend from the coziness of our little house. If you have warm weather, please send a little our way. I'm ready, we're all ready.

Independence

PLEASE!!! Do not peel and slice a banana into rounds. Do not cut into small sticks for easy handling. It will be rejected!

Instead, slice through the tip and pass to grunting, anxious toddler.

It will be peeled with careful fingers.

The peel will be tasted and explored.

A banana will be enjoyed.
