catching up

I am behind...so I'm going to 'boil down' what should have been several posts to the 'meat & potatoes'. Here it goes:

Bite 1:

Belle hunting eggs with her main man. A few families from church who don't have extended families nearby with whom to celebrate got together for an Easter egg hunt Sunday evening.

Team K. exploring their spoils.

Bite 2:

I honestly never know when I walk into a room how Belle will have dressed up her brother. He's a happy & willing participant...for now.

Bite 3:

I'm venturing into baby food making. The first attempt was a soaring success. I steamed an extra (organic) apple, then proceeded to mash it by hand (which was insufficient to achieve desired consistency). I don't have a food processor, but I am thrifty; so I pulled out my KitchenAid immersion blender (a gift from my mom to make my wifely duty of milkshake making for my husband a little less taxing). The tiny terror pureed those apples into the smoothest texture.

I would highly recommend one for baby food making. Its small and stores easily, and the clean up is a breeze, especially compared to a food processor. The process was so easy and far cheaper than buying Gerber Organic, I can't wait to make more. Oh, and best of all, Judah loved it!

Bite 4:

We hit up Dodge Park with our sweet friends Phil, Mistey, & Chase.

Chase & Judah enjoyed a swing ride together.

While Aron & Belle wrangled dinosaurs.

We took a walk along Clinton River.



And threw a football in the open grass.

And for the final bite, a few last random picts from that evening...

Even a 'boiled down' meal requires dessert (at least at our house)

So here's a treat to pacify your sweet tooth:

Remember the post a few days back entitled Right Now, well after I wrote the post, I ventured out to the porch to find that Belle had given Judah her sweater because "He was cold, mamma." Sweet as honey & simply delightful to my heart.
