Hmmm... Is it wrong to live for Shabbat? I think about sabbath pretty much every day, just counting the days and sometimes hours until Friday night.... I don't know what I would do without a day of rest. Thank you Lord for your holy day! :)
Passover/Unleavened Bread has been fun this year. Nathan and I, and little Jacob of course, had our very first sedar together. It was sooo special. I think my favorite part was when we washed each others feet. (Jacob liked this especially.) We read the Exodus story and the Last Supper story in the Bible, and we enjoyed our matzah like always.... What a good night! This week we've experimented with a few new recipes. Honey Cinnamon matzah, Unleavened Cookie Bars and Apple Cobbler, and we even tried some potato gnocchi...but my all-time favorite Passover recipe remains the same: Unleavened Fruit Trifle. Mmmmmm..... Lemon Pound Cake with homemade whip cream, strawberries, blueberries and pineapple in layer upon luscious layer. Excuse me for a moment while I go look for something to eat now that I'm drooling....
Wow, nothing a little pudding can't cure! Jacob agrees. He was drooling too. ;)
Well, it's a special day today: My Little Big Bro's Birthday! Yes he's both my little and big brother. Younger but taller.... I don't mind because he's still just as nice as when he was the little squirt I used to boss around. :) Happy 20th Birthday Caleb! We love ya! :D
Well, I must go. Jacob has started a stick-out-your-tongue war with me, and I cannot miss this moment. Good bye for now!
