Is It Possible To Love Carrots This Much?

My sister-in-law sends the family sweet weekly updates about her family, which I love to read. Most recently, when I responded to her, she requested back that we tell her the good recipes we tried during the week. The following is my response this month.

A couple of weeks ago we had Carrot Ginger Soup for dinner again. It's a soup that seems simple but tastes wonderful and surprisingly complex. I always forget just how tasty it really is until we serve it up again. Best part is that the kids love it--all of them. Also, there is that sweet little bit about adding a dollop of herbed butter and chopped peanuts to the individual portions that makes it irresistible and quite breathtaking aesthetically. For a gourmand, it is heavenly.

In February we poured the concrete

tore down the stucco

Rocked out with cousins

Put up walls

For the Voyeur in You

I am blogging what I eat, again. It is really enormously telling to write down what you eat every day. I know that I, certainly, think twice about eating that entire bag of marshmallows when I know that my neighbor can read about it the next day. Oh my!

So, even though I am not counting calories right now....for the baby....I don't want to gain 50 pounds like I always, ahem, may have done in past pregnancies.

Please spy on me occasionally. It helps me be a good girl.

Recap: January 2012

In January we decided we needed more room

So we got working as a family on a remodel

Dirty. But, fun.

No Rest For the Wicked and the Righteous Don't Need It

Last year was unbelievably stressful eventful. Now that it is safely behind us, I think that Aaron and I are starting to sleep all the way through the night again.

But...lest we all get too comfortable, baby number five will be making his/her debut this fall. Ah, life! We can sleep when we're dead, right?

Now, sarcasm aside, I am so excited for this little one to come. We all know that the fifth child is the truly most interesting, most funny, most talented and most well-rounded of all possible children.

So...we have high hopes for this one.
