No Posts!

No posts can only mean one thing! No good news! lol

Well, not really, but the kids and I have been taking turns being sick since the last weekend in January. (Mostly me, but the kids started it!) I haven't been to church on Wednesday night for two weeks now. 1st week the kids, 2nd week me . . . Oy vey! Will it be this way every time I start school??

Okay, on to more positive news. Well, ummmmm . . .

Callie's birthday month. Need to make invites still. Valentine's Day. Celebrating tonight because this weekend is my girl's weekend (as long as I feel better) and I have a meet on Valentine's.

Gabriel's started a funny new game. Every time he hears the clink of a jar, he comes running because he thinks we're getting a paci out for him. And when he sees that we've gotten a paci out for him, he comes giggling and running as if we've just said the funniest thing or offered him the best dessert in the world. I'll have to capture it. It's hilarious.

Callie's doing very well at school. Her pencil grip is almost perfected! :) Makes me very happy because I've been fighting the "fist grip" since we started! She drew very well today too.

Oh and yes. Everyone's sharing recipes lately, so I thought I'd share a very easy dessert for two just in time for Valentine's Day.

Blackberry Cobbler for Two

1 Tablespoon butter
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
Dash of vanilla extract (optional)
14 blackberries (or any seasonal fruit that goes well in cobbler)

Preheat oven to 350

Divide butter and melt in 2 ramekins. Mix flour, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Divide batter evenly and pour into the ramekins over melted butter. Do not mix!

Drop berries over batter. Do not mix!

Bake until crust rises over berries and is browned, about 30 minutes.

Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

Voila! The perfect end to your Valentine's Day with your sweetie.

Hope you have a great weekend!

God bless you and yours.

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
