What a cool gadget!


Aunt Allison and "Mr. James", her boyfriend, gifted us with a baby food maker, the Beaba Babycook. Mommy tested it out today and made applesauce for the kids...what a huge hit! We used fuji apples and water, that was it, and the end result was warm, delish & fresh applesauce without the typical jarred food aftertaste. The machine itself is quite small and we were able to steam and puree 3 apples at once, not bad! We steamed the pre-cut apples, kept the steaming liquid with the yummy nutrients intact and then pureed the juice back with the apples. Mommy can adjust the consistency of the applesauce for younger vs. older baby, how nice! The cleanup was simple, just a few small items to hand wash and we were done. Baby Maggie will certainly have some yummy foods when table feeding begins, and the best part is that she'll be able to eat what the rest of us are eating at the same time, no more "this for us, now what for the baby?" game we always used to play. We recommend this product to all Moms, and consider this a great hand-me-down for future cousins....hmm....Allison planned it all along!

Ryan turns 2!


Our little Ryan turned 2 on Friday and we celebrated in a big way on Saturday with a party in the park! Good friends and family came and fun was had by all. We're so blessed to have such great people in our lives to share in these special moments with us!

35 Weeks

I certainly may not look bigger than last week, but I feel it! Just a few more to go. This picture was taken on my way out the door to a bridal shower for a friend, I hadn't dressed up like this in weeks and needed to mark the occasion with a photograph. Thank you, Lucille!
