Finally!

It took an hour of quietly playing in his crib - but, Matthew finally fell asleep. Who knew you had to work so hard to take a nap - it's worth it!!

Our little candycane!

Such sweetness - most of the time ;o)

Because sometimes I forget...........

Psalm 62:5-8

My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my help is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

Perils of bathtime

Mornings are loud around here

Matthew screams when he is happy - and he's usually happiest in the mornings. This morning in particular was loud with Grandma and Grandpa here to entertain - and be entertained! :o)

Matthew is thankful for Grandma and Grandpa!!

So, are Mommy and Daddy!!!!!!!

Pumpkin Parfaits

Okay, I know this isn't the best shot - but, I did want to share this low fat, yummy recipe.

I saw Rachel Ray make this pumpkin stuff and decided to modify it a little -

1 can pumpkin
1 can fat free sweetened condensed milk
1 box instant vanilla pudding
2 small containers of low fat Cool Whip - thawed
1 box of Ginger Snap cookies - crumble about 1/2 the box of g.s.'s in a food processor.

Just mix the pumpkin, condensed milk and pudding mix all together and add the Cool Whip. In my glasses, I put in a few spoonfuls of the pumpkin stuff, then a few spoonfuls of the crumbled ginger snaps and then a few spoonfuls of some more Cool Whip - and then did it all again. Lots of sugar - but low fat - :o)

None of RR's was low fat or fat free and she used the real deal whipped cream.
