Jamesy--a 9 month tribute

I wanted to post a picture of James with my last post, but all I had on hand was a picture of us camping. I was a tub o'lard, so I cropped me out. Well, Aho was jealous and wanted out of the picture too, so I took it complete off, with the idea I would post more pictures. Well, I could not find the memory card of the pictures I wanted, until yesterday, so here they are!

He loves swimming! Look at these teeth! He is now pulling himself up and can stand for a few minutes! These last two are his new thing. He likes to scrunch his nose when he smiles, and he will lift his head up and smile down at you. Very cute!

Things I am grateful for

The other day I was making scalloped potatoes. I don't like making them because I hate slicing the potatoes. As I had starting slicing, I looked up and saw my kitchen aid mixer sitting there. I remember my mom had gotten me attachments for it, so I looked through and found ones that would slice. I had such a great time!

I can't figure out what the buzz is with Rachael Ray. What credential does she have to have a daytime talk show and a segment on the food network. I don't have cable, but my parents do and one I like to watch is the food network. It just happened to be 30 minute meals with RR. So, I watched it, trying to figure this out. For dessert she made a peach melba. I have always wanted to make peach melba, and with peaches starting to come out, I thought this would be the best time for it. So, I tried it. It was so good! I don't want to say I am grateful for Rachael Ray. I will say I am grateful I saw this episode and that peaches are in season!
