Dan's Birthday, visit with family

We celebrated Dan's birthday this weekend and enjoyed a visit from Carrie, Tessa, Daniel, Tiffany, and Gracie (Daniel and Tiffany's Yorkie). Molly, Bjarne, and Emma joined us for brunch on Sunday. It was great to see everyone! Sophie especially enjoyed all of the extra attention. Tessa has grown into a young lady since I saw her last. I captured this shot of Tessa on our back porch.

What's Cooking at the Springer House?

Meatloaf with roasted garlic and rosemary potato wedges and roasted cherry tomatoes.

Jambalaya with Sausage, Ham and Chicken

I have been trying hard to cook all dinners at home in the last few weeks. These are a couple of successes from recent meals. The cherry tomatoes were especially good as they came from our backyard "flower bed" garden.

Happy Birthday Emma!

Emma celebrated her 4th birthday with a big party this afternoon. There were 20+ children, a bounce castle, and 2 ponies. It was a beautiful afternoon and everyone had a great time.

Visit with Emmy and the boys

Emily dropped by this morning with Bobby and Noah. Bobby got to play with Nana's toy selection and pick some cherry tomatoes with Nana. He liked to pick the green ones! While Noah took a short nap, Bobby played pizza party, cookies, and alphabet with Matty, Nana, and Mommy.
