Granola!

Today we had a playdate with my friend Maggie and her daughter, Savannah. Maggie also has a 5 month old boy, so we have lots in common. I can't say how much she and my friend Jessica (see last post...Will's mom) have made my time as a SAHM a little more sane. We try to get out and do things together once or twice a week, and it is often chaotic, but so fun and almost theraputic! I think people are scared to see us coming...the three of us toting diaper bags, sippy cups, and a infant car seat each, with three 2 years olds running in front of us, looking for action. It's a blast. Today Jessica wasn't able to join us, but Maggie, Liam, Savannah, and I made granola. It is so tasty and we had loads of fun doing it! Next week...muffins!






















Here is the finished product...yum!

Neglected Blog

Some of you may have heard about the ice storm here in Louisville a couple weeks ago. Fortunately, we had electricity the entire time, but I was without internet for a couple weeks, thus no blog updates. Here are some pics of the storm (which looks benign to you Chicago folks, I know). Keep in mind there was a layer of ice 3 inches thick underneath all of that snow:



Liam's buddy Will and his family crashed with us for a night during the storm. They were without power for almost a week! But the boys had fun together until Will's grandma's house became warm again. Sometimes when we're out, people ask Jessica (Will's mom) or I if these boys are twins. Here they are watching Elmo:

Liam is still loving "my baby", as he calls Grady. He's so funny and is talking more every day. He is enjoying school and talks about the lunch I pack for him all the time: "turkey manich, nola bar, apples, sometimes juice"

Grady has found his thumb, and it makes him an even more pleasant baby, if that is even possible! He is a darling child and I'm really enjoying getting to know his personality.
