One Year Old

Can you believe it? My baby girl is a year old!

Look at those cute little (sharp) teeth!

We celebrated Baby Bee's special day with a pumpkin carving party.

This spider was carved by a third grader. Impressive!

We learned that jack-o-lanterns don't do well in wet 80 degree weather. They didn't make it to Halloween. Yuck!


This is the chocolate pumpkin smash cake I made for Baby Bee.

I made one just like it for my dad. His birthday was the next day.


Chocolate and coffee cake with milk chocolate ganache and buttercream frosting.
The pumpkins are covered with chocolate poured fondant.

The sweetest little pumpkin, ever.

That's you, Crickey . :) What do I need to look for when evaluating materials?

Our Church

Check out Pistol Pete's post entitled " The Revolting Church ." Then read what I have to say about our church. We attend a (dare I say it) United Methodist Church. Gasp! I am a child of the Jesus Movement, so the idea of joining the UMC seemed absurd. However, we absolutely love our church. On Friday nights we gather at our UMC for Celebrate Recovery with codependents, victims of abuse, drug, sex, food, and booze addicts... We are able to openly admit that we screw up. Then we accept each other's love and God's grace. Our CR group is one of the largest in the USA. On Sunday mornings, we attend a rocking worship service with many of the same people we meet with on Friday nights. Yardboy recently started playing the drums with the praise band. It is truly a "come as you are" place. We aren't an Emerging Church, but we are emerging from what is considered traditional. I grew up in a Five-Fold Apostolic Ministry, and tried many others Christian churche...

Limited Obstetrical Ultrasound

Recently I completed training in limited obstetrical ultrasound at a local crisis pregnancy center. I volunteer on Monday mornings when my kids are in school. Scanning pregnant bellies is awesome! There aren't many things more amazing to see than the first flicker of a heartbeat or tiny hands and feet. I find it hilarious that almost every client comments on how big the baby's head is. Then, they blame the the baby's father, "He's got a big head, just like his daddy." Ha! However, things aren't always cheerful in the ultrasound room. I know from personal experience that it really sucks to be the woman on the table when the person performing an ultrasound says, "That's an empty uterus." It really, really sucks! Now I also know that it really, really sucks to be the person performing an ultrasound when an unborn baby's heartbeat can't be found. I realize long before the mother that the baby is not alive, but I have to keep silent until ...
