Snow!

It snowed here last weekend. But, just in case we would have missed that fact, a snowman rang the doorbell to tell us about it first hand.

More shameless self promotion

Just Because has a new basket! It's the New Baby Basket, which can be checked out here!

I noticed the little WeatherBug icon in the system tray on our computer flashing at me this afternoon. When I clicked on it I was greeted with eight severe weather alerts for our zip code. It sounds like we're in for rain, rain, rain and a little bit of wind. But, I'm pretty sure that after last year, we're ready for anything. Hopefully I haven't jinxed us now... =)

An ideal evening

Tomato enchilada bake

This is another favorite. Hmmm... I bet that it would be pretty good with leftover turkey too.

Little turkey

I know... it's out of focus, but I still thought that it was cute.
