The Will Emerges...

So lately Liam and I have been battling it out….he wants me to hold him ALL the time! I wish I could too, but realistically I just can’t. So, there has been quite a bit of crying as I go about my daily activities. In fact, there is crying going on right now.

On the flip side…he slept 7 ½ hours on Wednesday night and a whopping 8 hours on Thursday night! Whoo hoo! I cannot even begin to tell you how much that sleep was needed. Even though it isn’t a regular pattern yet, Scott and I see light at the end of the tunnel! Light at the end of the sleep tunnel that is, the parenting tunnel is looking mighty long….which I think it is, a lifetimes worth of length to be exact. But speaking of parenting, my dad recommended this sermon to me this week http://www.gty.org/Shop/Audio+Lessons/52-5 It is an excellent sermon; I really enjoyed listening to it, and highly recommend it to everyone!

Last Saturday I had a teacher friend, her husband, and our neighbors over for dinner…I tried out this recipe…http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/saltimbocca-brown-butter-ravioli-pumpkin/ YUMMYLICIOUS! If your looking for a fun fall pasta dish, (that is why I tried it I wanted to try cooking with a pumpkin) this is the way to go! I eagerly wait to cook dinner from the time I get up in the morning! Making dinner is seriously my favorite part of the day! I love chopping and prepping! I so wish I went to culinary school…and dance school….maybe I will be a dancing chef one day. Oh! Speaking of which, I grabbed out my ole East African Cookbook this week and made up a batch of Aunt Jerry-Anne Pevey’s bread dough….love it! You can just keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks and grab it out to make dinner rolls/hamburger buns/cinnamon roles/calzones etc whenever you need it…very fun!
