Sick girl

So tired! Not a great week, my sweet girl has turned into The Grumpy Old Troll Who Lives Under The Bridge due to her terrible cold and cough (and possible teeth coming in). Two nights ago she was up from 12-5 AM while last night was better thanks to cold medicines which she is barely enough for, but they worked so who cares. Major thanks for Grandma Liz & Grandpa Steve for caring for her and helping us get up with her this week. They head home today but Gramsie Hol will be here and then Daddy is on daycare duty tomorrow. Bring lots of Neeklex! Despite this plague, potty training is going fantastic.

Nori's little buddy at daycare, Drew, has been battling eye cancer since he was 9 months old and has just had another recurrence. Please keep sweet, little Drew in your prayers!

Happy Birthday Casey!

Pampered Chef

Only shirt and shoes required

You know how I am a really awesome cook, despite how my husband does not appreciate it? Okay, at least I try. This weekend was a culinary (no wait! no one says culinary, they say gastronomy) it was a gastronomic adventure. My new friend, Rachael, the one who happens to be the professional chef, hosted a pasta making party for those of us on the Bloom Welcome Team. I'm still full.

Tonight we are having mini Super Bowl party. I made homemade hummus & veggies, turkey black bean chili and cornbread and this awesome apple crisp. I too am available for cooking classes and private parties. Still looking for Kim Kardashian in the stands...found her!

Grandma & Grandpa are here this week to babysit!

Security Breech

Turns out my photo editor, Picasa, is synced to Picasa Web which is synced to my email and has been sending out ALL my photos to selected parties EVERY SINGLE DAY since December without my knowledge. Thanks to Bill Pal for finally telling me. Sorry about that! I will try to disable this handy feature ASAP.
