    Richard and I both have been baking more. As a result we have a bag of flour with less than a cup remaining. As it turns out, this bright yellow bag is quite attractive and easy to handle. I was cleaning up the kitchen with Quince behind me. When i turned around I found him…

    Quince decided to fight his cold by eating straight lemons while Richard made a pie. At first he wasn’t so sure of it but quickly got over that. When Richard finally took it away from him he wasn’t happy and proceeded to whine about it. Here’s another picture of him enjoying his lemon.

    Recently I have really gotten back into crochet and started to more seriously learn knitting. My mom first taught me how to crochet when I was probably around 10 years old, maybe a few years younger than that even. Why did I want to learn? Her and my grandma made things and I thought it…

    Many of this year’s apple butter went out to friends and family as gifts. I must say, this year’s batch was awesome. Thanks to Carrie and Danica, I had a great selection of different apples to use. I’m not sure if it was the apple variety or how long it was able to simmer; probably…

    We have an additional 5 inches on top of whatever we got yesterday/day before. Here’s a picture of our front window. Richard went out and shoveled the walk and because I’m crazy we ran outside for a snow photo. It was fun. 🙂 The measurement was almost 10 inches about 11am.

    I have had an alarm on my ipod reminding me of when to give Quince medication since we came home. At one time I had an alarm sounding every 3 hours to either pump or wake him for a feeding. When he started crying in the middle of the night my nightly alarms were turned…

    Wow!! What a ride this year has been. As you all know, the biggest would be the addition of our son, Quince, to the family. Born in May, he has added a lot of excitement to our lives. Thank you to everyone this past year. Before I take this look back, I want to individually…

    We had our first Christmas party last weekend in Bothell. It was nice to see everyone and enjoy food. Our white elephant exchange was different from others I have done, but still fun to see what everyone unwrapped. Quince scored a Star Wars lunch box from Uncle Dave’s elephant gift. It is a great drum,…

    Festivities this year were held in Quilcene, a change from the usual Shoreline. It was a much smaller party than normal, which Richard said was harder in terms of pie making. He prefers more people because he can do more varieties. While part of me agrees with that, the other part also realizes that typically…
