Well, just as the snow is beginning to melt, we are due for another big snow storm tonight! All this cold weather gets me in the mood for cooking. Here is my menu for the rest of the week:
T: Chili with cornbread
W: Chicken Parmesan over spaghetti
R: Toasted subs with homemade french bread and Creamy Carrot Soup
F: Turkey Enchiladas
S: Homemade Pizza with whole wheat crust
S: French Dip sandwiches
We've also been enjoying yummy warm rice pudding on these cold mornings.

Catching up
I can't believe it's been two months since my last post! December was quite a busy month, then I spent January trying to catch up and now it's February! Every time I have sat down to try to blog I usually have ended up doing something else because it felt too daunting. I will do my best to recap all that has happened these past couple of months...
1. We had a Christmas Party for the neighborhood kids and Sunday School kids. It was a lot of fun. We had 11 kids from the neighborhood and 11 from church. I pray that the Lord would be working in each of these little hearts.
2. Olivia turned 4 Months old
3. We got new windows
4. We went to a local Christmas tree farm to pick out a tree.
5. We had a nice Christmas in Iowa. I actually got to stay for an extra week with Landon and Olivia unexpectedly. We had a really nice time. Landon got a battery-powered Thomas train which he was very excited about and Olivia got a teddy bear "from Samuel."
6. Landon is out-growing his nap... and I am not. One day I was so tired I let him play while I slept (obviously I was not thinking). He finished off the cornbread muffins (I think there were five) and ate a little of the wrappers too.
...then he emptied the wet wipe box and made this artistic design on his train track.
7. Olivia turned 5 months old
8. Celebrated Christmas (in January) with Seth's side of the family
9. Kids got RSV, I got strep throat - were cooped up for a little over a week
10. We celebrated Seth's 28th Birthday
11. Got the biggest snow storm Tulsa has ever seen- cooped up for almost another week so far...
Here is "Snowy Olivia" as Landon calls her in this outfit...
10. We celebrated my 27th Birthday
11. Landon's prayer the other night, "Pray for Carlos, and for Gregory, and for Daniel, and for Potipher's wife, A-men"
Carlos, Gregory and Daniel are from Joshua Club and he has a movie about Joseph, so that's how he thought of Potipher's wife. I have no idea, however, why he associated them together - silly boy!

Anyway, we have had quite the busy last couple of months, but hopefully things will start to slow down and I will be back to posting more regularly. Hope you all are staying warm and enjoying your families!
