More to come later...

As promised...here is the latest version of Orange Julius I am enjoying. I am totally addicted to this recipe.
1 1/4 c orange juice
1 c water
3 T egg white (make sure these are pasteurized!)
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 c sugar
1 1/2 c ice

Blend all ingredients except ice to allow the sugar to dissolve (30 seconds). Then add ice and blend until ice is crushed (15 seconds). 2 Servings (16 ounce servings) Or in my case 1 GIANT serving! :) It is frothy like the kind we drank growing up and now with pasteurized egg whites it is safe to drink too.

Hrm...been a bit sparse on the posts here...one of my New Years resolutions is to post pictures at *least* once a month. Things have been crazy, as always, and I don't expect that to change, so I just need to suck it up and do it. Anywho, here's to a new year, and for those of you playing: Rabbit, Rabbit!

We had the good fortune to spend some time with the Wochnick's and the Johnson's just before and after Thanksgiving. It was great fun to be together and to see how the kids are all changing. I had the presence of mind to get a few shots; it will be great to have them to compare as time goes on...There is also a short video clip.

We posted a few "new" pictures recently. Check out:

I took some time to update the website with a few videos from the past months. We have WAY more pictures of Kathryn as an infant, but many more videos of Zoe. I love my little camera!

Both girls are growing so much, I can hardly believe it or stand it! Today at rest time (when I was insisting that Kathryn lay down, be quiet, and lay still so she would actually take a nap b/c she has cold) she folded her hands on her chest, closed her eyes and tipped her head away from me and prayed this prayer: "God, Please help Mommy feel better and help me take a nap so my cold goes away. Thank you, God." I don't know where she learned how to pray that way because we don't make her do that when we say prayers.!!!!

Zoe is fascinated with faces these days--puppet faces included. She is reaching out and grabbing our faces and talking with us as she explores. It is so amazing and fun to see her learn and to learn with her as we explain it to Kathryn.

We were talking about what Zoe learns from playing peek-a-boo and Kathryn chimed in to play with Zoe. This was one of the first times we were able to catch the full glory of a Zoe belly laugh! ENJOY!!!
