This is Daniel’s new favorite activity with dad. Properly pronounced, it is:
“TEE-kul” wrestle! Oh, and it must be said with great enthusiasm and be repeated over and over. We love it!

I have taken lots of random breakfast shots lately, so I thought I would share with you a few of our favorite breakfast (or breakfast for dinner or anytime you want it) dishes. Above is one of my current favorites- soaked steel cut oatmeal with whole flax seeds and dried fruit (cranberries, blueberries and coconut). [...]

It is absolutely amazing how much progress Daniel has made in his speech in the past few weeks (not even a month yet) at his school. He is talking in sentences and generally being very verbal. We couldn’t be more happy with the program. He has already made a new friend, Niles. We met Niles and his [...]

Well, today I got to try my new fermented foods and beverages. Above is the beet kvass. I must say after drinking 2 ounces of it that it must be an aquired taste. I am planning on aquiring it, though, because it is so good for you (basically all you do is peel and cut [...]

When Shannon talked at our Natural Mama’s group this week she gave us a hand out on ingredients in ice cream. Standard store bought ice cream has a bunch of yucky stuff in it that we shouldn’t eat, including polysorbate 80. Shannon mentioned that she wasn’t sure what it is but that she thought it wasn’t [...]
The TOOTHLESS WONDER

He sure doesn’t look too traumatized, does he??? The tooth extraction was extremely quick, and I guess it went well (Mike had to go since I have a problem with needles, blood, etc). He said that Daniel was too wiggly- anyone surprised???- so they had to put him on a board with straps on it [...]

I have to admit that I have been a little blue today. Thankfully I have a Savior who listens to my every cry and hears every prayer. I am thankful for the gifts He has given His Body, the Church. He ministered to me through the words in an amazing song by one of my [...]

What a fun night we had at the church!!! Yet again, there was so much going on that it was difficult impossible to get a good photo of Daniel. I gave up, but here are a couple of fun ones of him and the Mings. Maggie is so amazing; she sewed great little costumes for [...]
