December Photo-a-Day 2013: Days 14, 15 + 16

Hello friends!

Did you have a good weekend? I thought my sister was going to have her baby yesterday, but it all came to naught.

The last photo is a bit of a cheat – Reuben offered to take a picture of my hair when he saw me struggling to get a shot in the bathroom.

December Photo-a-Day 2013: Days 12 + 13

So sorry I missed posting yesterday, guys! I was watching my sister’s kids while she and her husband went on a date yesterday afternoon/evening.

Day 12: Helen has been obsessed with walking the past few days. It was funny and amazing to see her so determined to learn how to walk. She taught herself how to stand up without assistance and was toddling around crazily. I can’t believe I’m already the mother of a “toddler!” You can see a short clip of her walking here (I’ll post a better video when I write up her ten month update).

A delicious breve (breve > latte) made by my bro-in-law. Yummy.

   Mmmm, breve’s are the best! *clinks coffee cup to yours*
   Blessings & Grace,

   Rachel: She just turned 10 months on Friday. :) Yeah, I’m kind of addicted to cream – lattes seem much less flavorful now.

Day 10: Isn’t this the cutest little package you ever did see?

Day 11: Leftover shrimp soup! I recycled some of the ingredients I had left from making shrimp stuffed mushrooms into shrimp soup! It was very good. Reuben said so. :D

December Photo-a-Day 2013: Days 8 + 9

Hello everyone! No, I didn’t forget to post a photo yesterday. I just decided that posting every day was a bit overwhelming for y’all, so I’ll be posting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the rest of this month.

Day 8: This is my favorite way to eat grapefruit. It takes a bit of effort, but it’s so worth it.

Day 9: Helen is finally starting to get over her separation anxiety (now I jinxed it) and she’s warming up to other people. She loves her daddy and smiles and “jumps” up and down when she sees him.

December Photo-a-Day 2013: Day 7

It’s a bitterly cold day. It was -25 degrees F this morning. My stove wouldn’t even start. When I finally coaxed some life out of it, I made myself a cozy cup of mocha.

Here are a couple of photos that I captured yesterday. I saw the sunlight hitting the snow-clad trees and I knew I had to get outside with my camera. I tromped through the snow in my pajamas. It was well worth the effort.

My little stinker Helen. She’s growing up so fast.

December Photo-a-Day 2013: Day 5

Today (well, technically yesterday as I’m writing this at 1:12 AM), I cleaned out my refrigerator. It makes me happy to see everything so spotless and tidy.

Do you get pleasure from giving things a good cleaning?
