Happy Valentine's Day!
Yes, I am horrible at updating our blog; I'm resigned to the fact. But life goes on, so here we go.This is a fruit pizza we made for our holiday festivities (which actually didn't consist of too much more than that.) I found the recipe for the custard on The Sisters Cafe blog and it was SO YUMMY!!! We had leftovers that we also enjoyed on our french toast the next day. I would like to make it again one day, though next time I will remember that it makes well more than two adults can eat by themselves. Anyway, yumness.
And here is Princess Ellie, showing off her runny nose. (It seems like it takes forever for those to cure in little ones.) And I don't think it is possible for moms to NOT catch their children's sicknesses because despite all my attempts to keep the germs from spreading, she somehow wipes her nose EVERYWHERE, including me, in many places. Ew! Oh well. I thought this picture was funny because the Cheerio is stuck in the runny nose guck, and then we move to the next picture... 
And the Cheerio has moved down her face!!! Ha! I couldn't help but crack up as the Cheerio traded places but still wouldn't fall off. Kind of gross, but funny too at the same time. (Simple minds are easily amused...=)And finally, this little clip is Eric and I trying to teach Ellie to play the game of "run away." She is slowly catching on to the fact that she must move AWAY from the person trying to get her, but you'll see in the video that she's not very accurate yet in her direction.
We love this little girl. She keeps us laughing and smiling every day, and makes us feel so grateful to be her parents. What a HUGE BLESSING CHILDREN ARE!!!
