The box

Yes, Nicole, we are really trying to find a box big enough to ship the stroller. This is another failed attempt. But it sure is fun for the girls. Thanks daddy, for the longest bout of fun we have had together in a long time! ;)

Fun with hats

more fun with hats, Tenna likes hats

uh oh

time for mommy to get involved

When mommy is pre-occupied...

...big sisters get to sneek food to babies.

Haircut!

Today was Tenna's first real haircut. I took a good two inches off the back. I am a bit sad, it was so pretty and curly! I know it will grow back nicely though. I just need a little more practice cutting little girl hair!

Sesame Street

And now she is being distracted by the sesame street program I turned on to cut her hair. ;)

Doh!

I wish I was better at taking pictures! I think this one looks a lot like my cousin Brittany when she was little, and I wish it turned out better! Dang!

A sad week for the homemaker!

It was a great week for Albert! He received acceptance to the PharmD program at the U, he had a birthday and he got some great presents. Unfortunately I think Karma demanded that I balance out his good fortune! No, not really that bad. The girls are healthy again...
We heard a funny crash and couldn't place it. Well it was my wheat grinder, oh and I had just used up the last of my flour. Then today, about two minutes before my bread was done kneeding I hear a huge crash and glass shatter. Thinking Tenna had pulled the TV down somehow I ran panic stricken into the living room. Both girls just gave me startled, puzzled looks. Then it hit me. We had just moved the bread machine to the stable counter, but I guess that was a bad idea. Now I would make bread by hand, but that just doesn't work for me. It comes out like a brick...so I guess I get to play on e-bay! Yeah!

Tomato Pie

Well I have had some requests for the Tomato pie recipe and I have to admit, I don't really follow one, but here is the main idea as I see it.
Make/buy whole wheat pie crust (pre-bake it)
5ish roma tomatoes sliced (er whatever is good at the store or in your garden!)
Mayo mix:
1/2 c. mayo (canola is best)
1/2c. plain yogurt
1 tsp Italian seasonings

have about 1 1/2 cup shredded cheese (

Layer tomatoes and mayo mix then cheese (for last layer mix mayo and cheese) about three deep. Sprinkle on Parmasean and some Pesto.
Bake 40min at 350 degrees. Yummo!

Hmmm...

...now if I could just keep from folding in half!

Sick day, everywhere

Poor Baby

Well it's official. She is sick. Poor baby. The antibiotics should kick in pretty quickly and I will have my bundle of energy back. Didn't know how much I would miss her.

A moment to ourselves

This picture reminds me that, sometimes, we all need a moment to ourselves. It has been pretty crazy for the last little bit. I am just glad that spring is coming and we may all stay healthy for a while. Andi is just showing me that it's ok to take some time and read a book.

Pre-birthday bash

Grandma and Grandpa got Tenna a spectacular gift! I can't believe she is almost two!

Bubbles!

This device helps me keep her occupied and motivates me to mop! What an invention!

Sharing

The girls like to play together. Sometimes Tenna wants to just play with sister alone (hence the "go away" face). But she also likes to share too much, so alas, they must be supervised! ;)

more sharing

Three years...and counting

Albert told me that he knew it would be ok to marry me once I had made him a tomato pie. It was no secret to my roomates that I wasn't the best cook, but he knew then that I would learn. Well now we have been married for three years and it seems like at least once a week he has a new favorite. So, thank you tomato pie!
