Just Some Stuff

Thank you to everyone who left a recipe for the swap. On my computer, I cannot see the Mr. Linky. Can you? I was able to see it when using my in-law's computer and had no idea that it actually appeared. I was just curious if it was only me, or if other people couldn't see it.

 I have tried a couple of the recipes posted and hope to try the rest in weeks to come. The Wilsons came over for dinner last week and I made the crock pot green beans from Amy and the blueberry dessert from Amber to go along with our pork chops and rice. I wanted to try one of the pork recipes, but needed something I could pop into the oven and let bake while I did other things. Both recipes that I tried were great and my kids ate platefuls of the beans; easy and tasty. The dessert was delicious. I topped it with crushed pretzels instead of pecans because Noah is allergic to nuts. It reminded me of a Jello pretzel dessert that my mom used to make, so I opted for pretzels. 

It's a low key week of sickness at our house. Moms, you know how sad it is to see your babies not feeling well, but I am enjoying the extra moments of loving and cuddling. Noah amazes me with his sweet spirit and optimism during the midst of feeling terrible. I love witnessing the personality and spirit God has put into my children come to life. It is a really fun thing to watch develop. Kayt is as lively as sunshine and I look forward to hearing her contagious giggle everyday. She is talking so much and it makes me laugh to hear her say so many words so clearly. Yesterday, while we were waiting for the our sweet doctor to come into the room, Kayt kept repeating baby. diaper. baby. diaper. I wasn't sure what she was talking about so I just let her babble. Then, above my head I realized that there was a poster of four babies  in their diapers. I think she is going to be a talker like her momma. :)

We canceled every single thing on our calendar this week and are just staying at home to recover (and not spread the flu to anyone else) and to be honest, I have enjoyed our week of hibernation.
