Finally, spring has arrived!

It may already be mid-April and I may not have planted much, but I am happy to report that I managed to get my hands dirty. I feel like such a light-weight this year, but with my late start and a baby on the way, I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew. So this year we'll have three varieties of tomatoes, green beans, herbs, and beautiful flowers. I am still on the search for zucchini seeds or starts, but I might not get to grow them this year. The kids were great helpers - especially when it was time to water all the plants. I hope they fund joy in hard work and growing/caring for plants. Hooray for sping! Does anyone know what this plant is? (The flowers are light blue.) It grew from some tinker belle wildflower seeds a couple of summers ago. I'm just curious to know since it is so delicate and pretty. It keeps reseeding itself and I hope to keep keeps that up.

Getting bigger

Good grief I feel big. The worst part, however, is that I am only going to get bigger. Much bigger. Here I am at almost 28 weeks. That leaves 12 weeks to go. TWELVE!

Grilling Season

With the warm weather we've enjoyed tolerated this week, I haven't been in the mood to cook much.  And, since I served breakfast for dinner at least three times this week, I figured it was time to pull out some grilling recipes.  I want to share three things that I found on kalynskitchen.com - two recipes and some tips on grilling chicken breasts.  Ever since I found the tips, Eric has complimented me on the juicy tenderness...as long as I don't overcook the breasts ;)  Enjoy! Grilled Chicken with Balsamic Vinegar http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2007/05/recipe-update-grilled-chicken-with.html (Makes 6-8 servings, recipe can be cut in half. Recipe created by Kalyn many years ago.) Ingredients : 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Marinade : 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1/4 cup olive oil 1 T dried parsley 1 T dried shallots (or 2 T minced fresh shallots) 1 tsp. dried thyme 1/2 tsp...

Goal!

Genevieve scores a soccer goal.  She is the girl in blue with bouncy blonde pigtails.  Though she just shrugs her shoulders in triumph, the expression on her face conveys her excitement. YouTube Video To Eric - Okay Okay!  Next time, I'll turn the camera sideways. 

looks can be deceiving

I looked out the window and saw the kids sitting together and my heart melted.  I grabbed my camera and snuck outside to take a photo of this wonderful moment.  Only, what I heard was far from wonderful.  Genevieve was arguing with Emory and telling him to leave her alone.  C'est la vie. Someday they won't fight.  Someday.
