What we've been up to

Hey everyone,

Just thought I'd throw up a new post letting everyone know what we've been up to recently - and hence no time for blogging.

We are expanding our online book business & giving it a complete face lift. The goal is to collect donated books, sell them online, & support charities. Our current charity is Cross International. We're really excited about it & hope you can pass along the excitement to everyone you know too.

Check out our website GiveBooks.org

Thanks!!!

Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls





This was a recipe from cooks.com
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1664,129177-251199,00.html

They were pretty easy to make,
but I'm not sure I'd use this recipe again.
The bread machine didn't make
that much of a difference in ease.
There is a Paula Dean recipe on foodnetwork.com
that looks interesting
with really good reviews.

Kroger 4/23

FREE STUFF
I actually got a lot on this shopping trip, but here's just a look at the free stuff I got (yes, I still coupon shop even though I haven't been posting). I also got a free Propel drink, but it got opened before we even made it home. All the pasta was free with $.25/ea overage.

Good times...

We went to some nearby gardens to take pictures yesterday morning. Found out (to no one's surprise) that Lily does NOT like to humor our picture taking obsession. :) Took about a million photos, and I think maybe 3 actually turned out. Here's one of my favorite.

My Parents Visit GA

World of Coca Cola

Yes, it actually snowed (I think my parents brought it down with them from MT) and my parents were NOT impressed since they were trying to get away from that white stuff for a little while.

Grandpa showing Lily the snow.

And here was a great golf cart ride turned not so great - very wet and pretty cold, but still lots of fun.

Lily's 1st bandaid


Lily's Hello Kitty Band-Aid stayed on for about 30 seconds after I took this photo. Guess it wasn't as good as mommy's kisses. :)

Taking "Baby" for a stroll


Is this a little mommy in the making or a homeless little lady with a pink shopping cart (notice the radio in the basket)?? It's funny how the things that she values the most right now are all in the cart - a ball to play with, a radio with music for dancing, a container for putting stuff in, & of course, "Baby" (Care Bear). What more could a girl want?

All done up & no where to go...

I was trying to finally get the baby seat stored away, but Lily had other plans. Guess she misses her old seat cuz she jumped right in and wanted me to buckle her up. Ahh, comfy chair & a snack - doesn't get any better than this.

Don't we look special



Lily wanted to add the finishing touches to our outfits this last Sunday morning. She has this thing about hats & sunglasses (obviously) right now & decided Mommy needed to look good too.

YUM!


She sure loves to share Daddy's protein shakes! This one is blueberry & is especially yummy!

Bathroom

Here are the new mirrors & lighting in our bathroom. Please try to ignore the mess - it's a construction zone. The coloring looks a bit different in person though - the walls are darker brown & I think they look nicer with the dark brown mirrors than it looks like in the picture.
