Pickles!

Mine and Michael's first attempt at making pickles! John spent most of the time asleep on my back in our Boba carrier. So! It was a family effort!

Don't cook me! I'm too cute to eat!!

Jelly Fish Donuts??

Hello friends! As I write this, my loving husband is making me bacon and an omelet. Is he a good man, or what?! So amazing... here's the scoop:

Here's John fighting a nap and his mobile :) We're giving cloth diapers another try since he doesn't seem to be getting as many diaper rashes lately. Which is exciting because cloth diapers are fun!! and best of all, they are reusable! I feel so green :) He's been sleeping 6/7 hours at night and I'm starting to feel alive again :)

Fact:

Cinnamon Raisin bagels really stink up a pantry.

Fact:

I wanted a big bowl of my homemade gumbo last night at about 2am. A nursing mom is worse than a teenage boy... I could eat us out of house-and-home, for real!

GUMBO!! Yummy!!!!

Fact:

The garden is planted! I can't wait to sink my teeth into some fresh watermelon and make my own pickles! I've never done that before and I'm curious to see if I'm any good at it! I know they probably won't be shimmering gold and sing and dance for me, but they might be alright. :)

Welcome back to the world of blogging!

I'm gonna start blogging again. Because my life is so blessed that I have to share!!

Firstly, since my last post, obviously I gave birth to a brilliant, handsome, amazing little boy. My sugar-pie, John Isaac is the joy of my heart. He is almost 5 months old now. He started rolling over and skooting around pretty good. He's a tough little guy too. He'll bang his head on something and not even flinch. Oh, but he'll cry and yell at you if you put him down to cook some dinner. :) He's a snuggle-bug and I secretly love that about him.

I love being a stay at home mom! I wouldn't want it any other way! Michael is working for his dad again and he's really enjoying that. Our God and Savior has provided so beautifully for my family, it amazes me. :) Here's some photos to properly usher in this new season of blogging fabulousness. The picture at the top are some of my favorite flowers in our garden!

The boy! Sleeping soundly as I type this :)

I left some carrots out for our baby bunny who lives in our bushes!

Me, my mommy-do, and my sweetie.
