MOLE--YUM

SF and SJ made the annual Mole (a Mexican chile sauce) that they love on eggs and whatever else!
I then can it so they can have it year round. The other photos are JM with MR's book cover on his head! ( don't ask) and my first gladiolus that I was able to bring in the arrange. My grandmother always raised them and that his her vase on the mantel.

Red Raspberry delight!!

SJ decided she wanted to make a raspberry pie! Boy was it yummy!!
Wish your were here to get a bite!!

Pie Makers

I was making pie for church potluck this evening and the girls asked if they could make small pies with the remainder of the crust.
This is MR's apple crumb top!! Tasted as good as it looks!

An afternoon with friends!

Z and SJ were adopted the same day in China. At that time Z's family lived a short distance from us. Now they live in Georgia! Thankfully we have been able to see them yearly since they left! We miss them so much! Since MR and EM are at church camp they missed out on the short visit this year! Hopefully they will come back soon!

A WEEK AT THE LAKE

We had an awesome week at a cabin we rent in WI last week. One of JM's PCAs was able to come along and help out.
My parents and brother were there as well...but it seems that MR has all the photos of them on her camera! I will post more when she comes home from church camp on Friday!

A big help!

All the kids love it when Natalie brings Isabella along. Here is a shot of EM helping her with her bottle! She is getting to be a great deal of fun!

GETTING THE SUMMER STARTED

MR is helping out watching a neighbor's daughter 2 mornings a week this summer...well actually everyone is helping out!
Here are a couple of photos with Maria and Nicola. Maria is one of our God-daughters!
