Steel Cut Oats

Steel Cut Oats with Berry Medley - this was our breakfast this morning. And everyone loved it! Paul doesn't normally like oatmeal..."it's okay" but with the fresh fruit - "this is so much better".

Abby had three servings! Unbelievable - this is my girl who sometimes will eat just a bite or two. Personally, I think it was the brown sugar but hey, I'll take what I can get with her.

I love....

I love snuggling with this little one. I love his smiles and sounds.

I love how Abby loves her little brother. She's always trying to take care of him and kiss him.

Good Sport

Paul is a good sport. He rarely complains about what I make and tries all my inventions in the kitchen.  The other night, I made pizza - with whole wheat crust, pesto sauce, feta cheese, and grilled veggies.  And we had a glass of *pink* wine.   Totally a girly dinner but my sweet husband ate it too and even said he enjoyed it.

I don't know what came over me...

I wanted to clean the living room and vacuum. Ahh....letting Abby color will let me get this done.

She quickly learned that coloring on herself was much more fun. Usually, I try to encourage her to color on the paper and not herself. Afterall, someday it might be a permanent marker she's playing with. But today....

I even took off her shirt so she could get even more messy. And I encouraged this silliness...see the heart on her stomach....yeah, that was mine. But the living room is clean and vacuumed :)

Cooking with Abby

Abby is on the mend. She and Paul actually went to the park yesterday. While Paul was grilling chicken last night, Abby did a bit of her own cooking. She gets very serious about cooking and helping. Thankfully it's plenty warm outside so this can be an outside activity.

My Valentine

This is my sweet hubby - my valentine. This week I am appreciate and love him all the more not because it's valentine's day but because he has been such a trooper with Abby. She's been sick the past three days (both ends) and Paul has been there every step of the way, including 4am baths to clean up the mess.

Such a good Daddy!!!

And still finds time to woo my heart with these beautiful flowers.

I love you Paul!!!!!
