Death by Chocolate
I've been working on my scrapbook pages for the year (I'm seriously addicted now). Here is one for February highlighting Rich's delicious baby lava cakes. I can't wait to finish the Hymas Family recipie book Volume 1. It combines my favorite hobbies all in one--cooking, digital scrapbooking and design, and photography.
To my SIL's, please send me whatever recipies you want to include, and send me a picture of your dishes to include in the book.

Connor's Blessing
Today was Connor's baby blessing. I felt absolutely overwhelmed by the love and support shown by our family. So many of our aunts, uncles, and cousins, in addition to our immediate families, were able to come. And just about everyone asked if they could bring something for the luncheon afterwards.
Rich gave Connor a wonderful, sweet blessing. Connor is doing great and growing and developing quickly. We love our little man!

Bountiful Baskets
We got our first food basket from the co-op we joined. It is amazing. For $15 we got so much fresh fruit and vegatables, just in time for my new weight loss efforts. We got, with our estimated vales at the grocery store:
4 artichokes ($6)
1 bag of radishes ($1)
1 head of romane lettuce ($1.50)
1 bunch of spinich ($2)
2 cucumbers ($2)
6 roma tomatoes ($3)
10 apples ($5)
1 cantalope ($3)
1 honey dew melon ($3)
a bunch of bananas ($1.50)
3 6oz containers of blackberries ($9)
6 kiwis ($1.5)
I think it would cost close to $40 in the grocery store for all of that. Well worth it. I also bought 5 loaves a whole wheat bread, and a "Mexican" basket that included some tamatillos, squash, cilantro, avacados, limes, onions, and garlic. All told, I spend $35 for two weeks worth of fresh food. Awesome!
In conjunction with this, I recently downloaded a new app for my ipod that is a pretty good calorie counter/fitness and nutritian tracker. It has motivated me to want to eat better, so the timing couldn't be better. I'm very excited about it and am making some progress in getting this baby fat off.
