Man, I love this girl.

I finally took Alice's blessing photos.  She doesn't need much convincing to smile. :)
She even had immunizations today, but she doesn't let that stop her 
from being so charming that I feel like my heart might burst.





Did I mention how much I love this girl?

Blessings and Pies (sort of synonymous)

We loved having our family here for Alice's baby blessing.
I can't even describe how much we love this little girl.


Seeing her in white,  and hearing her blessing from her awesome dad 
made this day so very beautiful.  


I plan on getting some other pictures of Alice in her dress, but I'll share these for now.


We're firm believers in celebrating Pi Day.
Who doesn't love an extra excuse to make pie!


Chicken veggie pot pie for dinner


Strawberry pie for dessert.  This was my first time making this one, and I really love it.  
It's just berries, sugar and cornstarch, with a splash of lemon juice, and that's it.  
Simple recipes are the tastiest!  Add that to a light, flakey crust, and, yum.


In other news... Alice found her hands.


And she's keeping those baby blues, at least for now.

Other than that, we've been getting ready for Jonathan's play, sewing his costume (pics coming) and John and I have both had strepp.  As fun as that is.  Hopefully we'll all be better in the next few days.

Ellen is sitting in the bathroom right now singing, 
"Nah, nah nah, na-na-na-nah! Na-na-na-nah!  Hey Jude!"
I sure enjoy my kids.
