We've been busy :) we moved into our first HOUSE!! (yipee!) SO, the process of puttin gour old place on the market, getting it sold, packing it up, getting the new place ready, moving in, and unpacking has kept us PRETTY tied up. But, we love the new place, and all of us are enjoying the extra space and especially the yard and the back deck (almost the best parts of the house, okay.. definitely the best parts, ha ha!)
But, first, we've got some pictures from Easter (a while back, i know). We had such a fun time this year! Ruby even got to "hunt" for easter eggs :)
IT's getting a LOT harder to get pictures with our little monkey, because she just doesn't like to sit still too often. She keeps herself quite busy :) But, we managed to snap a few on Easter.
She loved the hard boiled colored eggs. She loved them even more when she realized that she could squeeze them in her hand and they would crumble into smithereens ;)
so... our new house :) we're officially ohioans now.
This was taken before we actually moved in, but now the trees in the front yard are in bloom, and the plants in front are green and getting ready to pop with color when the buds open. It's lovely, though.. it's caused Ben to have the worst series of allergy attacks ever. Like, a several week long series. it wasnt' pleasant, but it seems that the third time to the doctor is the charm, and he's finally got some medecine that's helping
Our kitchen:
We painted chalkboard paint on one wall, so we're having lots of fun with that ;) I love to cook (when i'm not exhausted from work or baby-chasing that is) so the extra space is awesome. we're having a good time cooking and baking in here.
So, for inspiration's sake, here's one of my latest favorite concoctions:
I call it Thai Noodles. Here's how i make it:
I use boxed thai noodles in the "Thai Ginger" flavor. Then i cook some chicken strips and mushrooms in garlic and ginger. I cook the noodles in the microwave, and then pour on top of the chicken and mushrooms. Top with cilantro, green onions and chopped peanuts. We love it because it's quick, easy and it tastes really good. almost just like thai take out.
more pictures of the new house and Ruby to come :) Someone's up from their nap, so it's time to sign out.
