Joining Barbara in commemorating the year in once a week posts … just whatever is going on in your life: the mundane, the crazy, the normal, the everyday.

While Zeke and Angelina were at Young Disciples VBS this week, Graham participated in the Holy Heroes Summer Faith Adventure.  He and Dash made these stained glass cookies for their cooking session one day.  They were huge, but I told Dash he was in charge and NOT to ask questions of me!  That may be a little dreadful, but I wanted Dash to be in charge and to ‘take charge’ of the sessions (and I wanted just a wee bit of free time during the day).  He did a great job and Graham enjoyed his special time with big brother.

Louis enjoyed bubble wrap.  I’m usually a saver, but I have enough styro-foam peanuts and bubble wrap to last through at least two Christmas’.  It’s time to let go and let them enjoy!

The bread machine preps the dough and it’s baked in my stoneware.  I just don’t like the paddle hole in the bottom on my loaves, and the bread shape from the pan fits the toaster sooo much better.  Below are the Baker Boy buns I purchase frozen from the meat locker.  They are fantastic and less expensive than buying in store.

I was paying attention during the Baptism, so the pics are all from afterwards.  Sarah’s brother, Fr. Anderl officiated.  He’s holding Juliette with Curt and Sarah on either side.

Eric and I are Godparents to Juliette Rose.  She’s the sweetest little one and was a joy to hold.  Proud mama, Sarah, myself and Juliette.

Afterwards, we headed over to the Grant home to celebrate.  Curt was an awesome chef – beer-poached & pulled chicken (I’m definitely going to try this recipe … he found it on Rachel Ray), patio potatoes, oreo cookie salad, fresh fruit salad.  Then they topped it off with a wonderful cake from a bakery in Fargo.  Were talking the cake was baked and frosted THAT morning.  We all enjoyed the evening.  Thank you for asking us to be Godparents!!! We are honored.
