My News

Well, it's official. I've started a catering business with a close friend of mine. We've done one party but have a few others coming our way. Still at the beginning and planning stages, we are going to piece together some ideas, what we want to do, prices, etc. but looking forward to seeing where this goes. 

Here's the card.

Our first event was a silent auction for a preschool with a Kentucky Derby theme.

Pecan Pie bars

Our Triple Crown: 3 Kentucky bites table

Chocolate cupcakes with blackberry buttercream

hot browns 

Mint Julep cupcakes 

Cucumbers... and plenty of them 

Two shots of the buffet table: pasta salad, hot browns, Veggie burgoo, and brown sugar balsamic pork

So thankful we had pictures taken by a professional, April Showalter, so we could focus on making sure food was out on time and not on capturing the moment.

I learned a lot and had plenty of fun. Looking forward to more days in the kitchen!

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter season!

Amelia had 2 egg hunts, we dyed eggs, and most importantly, celebrated our Risen Savior!!

We did our egg advent again this year and it was great to see Amelia understanding more and more about this season. So grateful for her heart for God.

Here are a few pictures from all the festivities:

In a effort to get a good picture in Easter outfits without the stress of getting to church on time, I tried to take some pictures earlier in the week...Jack wasn't a cooperative as his sister but I guess efforts weren't as futile as they could have been.

Dying eggs! 

 

James had Good Friday off and since it was the first warm (ish) day in what seems like years, we stopped by the zoo for a bit. Our Easter eggs:

Easter Afternoon.

Eight Months!

Hobbies:

Being held ... he loves being with people

shoes! Still a favorite "toy" and I think our closest is his favorite place to be.

Bath time! For about a month now, kids have started taking a bath together! They both love it so much.

New Things:

He still isn't crawling on his knees, but he is SO close. He is actually trying to just get to his feet instead and I think that's why he hasn't quite figured it out yet. We have lowered the crib, though, since he can basically pulling up.

He is eating a lot of table foods. After a week or so of resisting baby foods, I started trying whatever I could.  He is getting so big.
