8 Months Old...awhile ago...

The winner of Freebie Friday is....

Megan Williams!

Congrats Megan!  I'll drop your book in the mail soon!


In other news...
I finally took CJ's 8 month picture.
She officially turned 8 months about 11 days ago...but she still looks the same.
Except for the two little teeth poking through, although you can't see them in these photos.

This was another failed attempt to get a 'birthday' pic.
Failed...but cute!


Those are my favorite CJ pants, by the way!

As of Friday CJ is officially crawling.
As of this morning, she is officially pulling herself up on EVERYTHING!
She doesn't actually pull herself up to standing, just her knees.  But she is still awesome.

Her favorite food is....anything.
She loves it all.
Carrots, green beans, bananas, blueberries, mac n cheese, crackers, applesauce, cottage cheese, lasagna...

Love ya, CJ!


I also wanted to take a quick minute to answer some questions I've received recently.

1. What is the bread in the photo of your homemade jam?
The jam is homemade and so is the bread.  Megan Lorenzen was right...it is the artisan bread recipe we learned at MMO.  It is super easy and I use that same dough for tons of things including cinnamon rolls and pizza dough.  I'll have to post that recipe sometime.

2. What is the container you use for your jam?
Walmart is torture.  Tortue is Walmart.  But I keep shopping there.  So anyway, Walmart sells these clear, plastic, freezer cup-like containers with a twist on bright green lid.  I think they are kinda cute.  They come in various sizes and are super cheap.  I got 3 or 4 pint size containers for $3ish bucks.  Good deal.

3.  Ummm....I was thinking I had another questions or two.  I guess I can't remember at the moment. 

Enough from me.  Have a good day!

To be brave...

Image
At the young age of 14, our oldest daughter was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Glioblastoma is not a cancer with stages. It is only stage four; that's how deadly and impossible it is to heal from. When the pediatric oncologist sat herself onto Kate's hospital bed to share the awful news, Kate simply and stone-faced asked if she was going to die. "Do nothing and yes, you will." Kate's diagnosis and she shed no tears. Whereas I had minutes ago been sobbing into my husbands chest wishing I could die instead.  Kate was fortunate(?) to live two and a half more years. Two and a half years without hair, without pursuing her dreams, without...a lot. She bravely and boldly walked into the high school any chance her body would allow wholly different and beyond recognition from the girl she once was. Two and a half years after diagnosis on a chilly November 21st, I read the MRI report minutes before we were to meet with her oncologist. The report was damning. Seated n...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...
