New Look

As you can see, I've added a new background and picture of the kids with Heather missing. I'll put a new one on when I get one of all the kids. Heather didn't want to play in the snow and the Fall picture looked out of place with this background. I also tried adding a "falling snow" effect because I thought it would be a fun addition, but it kept crashing my computer! Maybe I'll try another site that does this. Happy Winter!

Julia and Julia

We watched this movie the other day and believe it or not Scott picked it out. We both really enjoyed it and I came out of it inspired. If you've ever seen it, you know that it's really hard not to salivate and have a growing appetite while watching it. I even Googled that Bruschetta recipe because it looked so good. I can't wait to make it! I'm glad we went to the American History Museum and saw Julia Child's kitchen there. It was amazing to me because my dad was such a fan of hers. I know I've had her recipes without even realizing it. Although sometimes a chore, cooking can be a fun, creative, outlet. Bon Appetit!

Let It Snow!

My children have been saying for some time now how much they miss Utah because it snows, that Christmas isn't the same without snow, etc. Well their wish has been granted. We have snow in Virginia. And lots of it! It's the record snow fall for December--ever and one of the biggest ever. It has been a fun and snowy day!
