Nakey baby


No better way to celebrate a beautiful sunny February day than by taking your clothes off. Jeez, winter sure is hard on a guy who prefers to be sans clothing. 


Such a happy guy. Only problem is the screaming that happens when the clothes are put back on.

"What's that you say? I can be naked a little bit longer? Woo hoo!!"

Snow Baby




Last weekend we hiked in to the Campbell cabin for fun times in the snow and with friends. It was a great weekend and Leif loved the snow. He went on his first sled ride (thanks for the support Lily!) He also took his first nap in a snow cave (thanks Daddy!)

Blessings for Leif

We had Leif's baptism on February 2nd and were so lucky to have both sets of grandparents and three  of his four great-grandmas! Along with his Godparents, Aunties, Uncles, cousins and good friends we celebrated Leif. We feel so blessed to have this little guy in our lives, and to have such a wonderful family and group of friends to share our life with.

Oh how they change

We started our baby group when Leif was 2 1/2 months old. All of the babies would sleep through the get togethers, cry or eat. Now, watch out! Leif reached out and pinched Lucy on the ear today and then kicked Blake in the head. I feel like all I do during the group is say "be gentle." I guess maybe I won't dress him in his bulldog sweater next week. I think it makes him aggressive. :) We celebrated Valentine's day with a party and all the kids gave each other valentines. I feel so lucky we found this wonderful group of moms and babies.

Poison Pasta

And now, for this month's recipe:  Poison Pasta.

Has it been a long day?  Is it too much work to plan a recipe that contains actual food?  Then this is the dish for you.

Ingredients:

1 pkg of Trader Joe's Shrimp (defrosted)
1 tbs of unsalted butter
3 cloves of garlic
3 chopped daffodil stems
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp inattention to detail
1 pkg of gluten free noddles.

Melt butter on medium heat.  Add defrosted shrimp and crushed garlic.  Saute for 5 min.  Ask your wife "should I add the green onions?"  The answer will be yes.  Chop up the not-yet-blossomed daffodils that are on the counter that resemble green onions.  Add to shrimp and garlic.  Saute for 2 more minutes.  Add cooked noodles, oregano, and red pepper flakes.  Serve and eat.  Does it taste disgustingly bitter?  Because if it does, you did right.  But what are you gonna do, throw it out?  Make something else?  Nope, better to just eat it down and better luck tomorrow.  Uh oh, your wife is now suddenly violently ill, and you are not doing too great yourself.  Then your wife will notice that 3 of her daffodils are missing.  "Zan, throw up everything now, you put the daffodils in the pasta instead of the green onions!"

Call poison control.  Purge everything from your stomach.  Feeling stupid?  You should.  Google "accidentally confuse green onions with daffodils."  Read that the same thing happened in 2009 in England in a Primary school's cooking class, and as a result, dozens of school children were sick.That makes you feel much better.  

Bon Appetite
