Summer Slump?

The past 3 weeks have been pretty busy in one way or another. I’ve been doing only a little bit of cooking new recipes. Usually I’ve been cooking pretty much the same recipes over and over.  Finding new ones just hasn’t been on the to-do list! Maybe it’s the end of summer slump. Not real sure, but hopefully I will be posting a few new ones in the days ahead.

This past weekend, my sweet little darling turned one! I can’t believe that her first year of life is done and she is on year 2! Oh, my! Those months passed quickly! She went from this:

…to this:

in just one year! She loves walking everywhere and will climb stairs over and over and over again as long as she is holding onto her mommy’s hands!

I woke up Saturday morning and discovered an extra car in the driveway! Barbi and her man drove down for the birthday party!!! I was very surprised! For the first time, all my kiddos, their spouses, and sweet Mia Joy were together under one roof! I was a very happy mama! Of course, I insisted on a family picture! With all the military men in the family, I have no idea when we will all be together again!

I do plan to post a few new recipes in the coming days. Thanks for your patience with me!
