sebastian helps prepare for the party

kiryn's party is tomorrow, and daddy has been furiously raking leaves for the event- sebastian is a big helper!

dinner of the day 3-26-08!

red potato (organic), leek, broccoli (organic), and cheddar soup

yummmmmmm

so, yesterday sweetpea met her dad for the first time-
i am so mixed up emotionally since i met him too.. lets say i defiantly can't the guy. her was so sweet with her, and nice to me. and i met his mother (grama) and she was nice..and they are VERY intent on getting her back.. i want my baby, but i also want him to succeed as her father..i am so torn.

dinner of the day 3-25-08!

ground beef with red pepper, zuccini, onion, Braggs- served over quinoa.
yummmm. this is one of my top favorite meals. all the vegis were organic.

editing

i changed a couple of things about my comments on my blog-
now comments have word verification, and are moderated. i was having a problem with stupid SPAMMERS commenting with links...sigh

hope this dosn't hinder anyone else from commenting!

are we crazy? no!

our agency has us down on the "vacancies" list, for short term or respite placements of potty trained or older kiddos.
hehe
so maybe we will have another face at the table for a little while sometime soon!

i couldn't believe it when my worker told me that our agency had to turn down THREE infants last week because all the homes are full!!!

cheesy..errr..chocolatey Sebastian!!
