I Hope This is Not a Sign of Things to Come...

How do you flip a toddle car? Silly boy!

Charleston

Mike and I made a little trip to Charleston, and we had such a great time! It is a very charming city and the down-town area is just beautiful! We enjoyed a carriage tour and I have to say I am just in love with all of the beautiful details! We had to take a little detour on our tour because several streets were closed for the filming of "Army Wives" (love that show!) I never saw any of the stars, but it was still neat to see!

How To Cook Brussels Sprouts

I love Brussels sprouts! I loved them as a kid, and I know that makes me weird, bust they are delicious! How I fix them is incredibly easy- 4 ingredients- brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Easy!

First wash your sprouts, peel off any outer damaged leaves, then cut off the end and then cut them in half.  They should look like this:

Next liberally cover them with extra virgin olive oil, and then salt and pepper to taste and stir it all up.

Spread them around in a baking dish and pop them into a pre-heated 400 degree oven. I like mine a bit on the soft side so I bake them for around 20 minutes, but you might want to check around 15ish. Yes, I am very specific in my instructions. I should probably write a cook book. (I am totally being sarcastic, in case you didn't realize)

They should look like this:

The Brussels sprouts were half gone when I remembered to take a picture. I know that lots of people are not fans, but I love them! In case you were ever curious and wanted to give them a try, this is an incredibly easy way to prepare them. 

This post? Yes, Yes, Yes! As someone who is often criticized for being too positive and too happy, I ADORED this! My favorite line, "I’d rather count my blessings than collect grievances..." Amen to that!

 

Siblings

I love these two so much! Sometimes I look at their precious faces and my heart feels like it could just burst! I love that they are becoming such sweet friends, and I pray that they will always be friends and be as sweet to each other as they are right now. 

Slacker

Does changing up the look count for posting? I feel like I am so far behind in posting, I don't even know where to start catching up, so therefore I don't. Further compounding my problem is the fact that the lap-top that I primarily use is on its last leg, and Mike has been studying for boards and has needed the new lap-top more than usual , and blehhhhhh.  So, ummm, yes. Anyway...I'm digging the green and will hopefully be posting a bit more. Because if I don't post, I won't be able to go back and look through my archives when I am working on Hannah and David's memory books because one thing's for sure, I can't rely on my memory!
