Happy Thanksgiving!

Seneca and I are visiting Matt in Utah for the Thanksgiving holiday. We are having a great time! We are so grateful for so many things...the opportunity to be with Matt, the love and support from our families during this time of much change and the constant love and protection from our Heavenly Father! Please continue to keep us and Seni's birth mother in your thoughts and prayers! Enjoy our pictures!!

Feeling a little domestic!

This past week, I've been VERY domestic! Don't get me wrong, I love to cook but this week my mom, Seni and I hit it hard! On Sunday, we made homemade bread. I was needing some comfort food, so we decided to make my Grandma Rae's homemade white bread recipe. It makes four loaves so, mom will use the leftovers for Thanksgiving stuffing. Oh, I love our homemade Thanksgiving stuffing...and yes, we stuff the bird the night before, stick it in the fridge and cook it the day of and it is just scrumptious! On Monday, I made hummus from scratch! Oh, do I love my hummus! I just love beans, lentils....and anything grainy! That is my favorite...not exactly Matt's :(! (Matt is so glad we are living with his parents so that he doesn't have to eat my whole-grain, tofu, seafood, grainy, hill-billie food! Ha!) On Tuesday my mom and I went to Dominic's (special Italian deli in her neighborhood) to purchase real spicy Italian sausage to make homemade raviolis. We do this every year for Christmas and since I am in town, I figured I'd help out! We made about 70 raviolis! Ugh! It's a lot of work, but SO worth every bite! Anyway, I really enjoyed it and look forward to making more yummy dishes while being a stay-at-home mom! I absolutely love it! Anyway, here are some fun pics of the week!

Love her crazy hair!

Us and the dogs!
