Make It From Scratch Contest: Update

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

The Calzones turned out wonderfully. Both D and Munchkin really enjoyed them (which says a lot as munchkin can be picky when it comes to new things).

Growing Up

Posted in Family

I don’t recall giving Munchkin permission to grow up so quickly, yet, this picture shows that she’s growing up way too fast. How does this happen without us noticing? One day she was our little baby — now she’s a little miss. **sigh** Ok, ok, so she’s only 7 (soon-to-be 8), but man does time fly… Today, we were sorting and cleaning some things and ran across some pictures from when she was really little. We showed them to her and she didn’t recognize herself. She was so little back then. She said it looked like her little cousin. It…
