Our First Roast

My husband says I should be embarrassed to admit this, but I cooked my first roast yesterday! I live with a wonderful cook, so he has always been the one to prepare this fabulous comfort food. However, he was busy installing six (yes, I said SIX) new light fixtures in the house yesterday. I have wanted to get rid of the 1980's-era fixtures, and we finally finished that challenge! Anyway, I took it upon myself to prepare the roast and it was great, if I do say so myself. Edee had some of the leftovers for lunch today and it was her first roast, too. As you can see, she enjoyed every bite and was thoroughly stuffed when it was gone! Elkee supervised and was in charge of clean-up!!

Spring Break and First Dates!

Edee had an ear infection at the beginning of Spring Break, so we laid low for most of the week. She has been such a healthy baby, and when she DOES get sick she manages to do it when I am off of work! I guess she doesn't want me to use up my sick days! :-) I worked on cleaning out some closets and drawers, so I see a garage sale in our near future!

We did manage to get down to Lake Travis for the weekend. My dad and Christy were headed that direction, but we missed them by a day. They were kind enough to let us stay at their house so that we could have a quick getaway! (I think I just made a rhyme!!) While we were in Spicewood, we were able to meet Cooper for the first time. Aunt Katy and Uncle Brad hosted a cookout at their house and we were able to enjoy the sunshine and view of the hill country with Austin's newest residents, Caryn, Pat and Cooper. He is such a handsome little man! I hope we can get those two together this summer for some lake time! Cooper's mom had these pictures on her blog, so I need to give her the photography credits. I have yet to upload my pictures from the weekend. Thank you Caryn!!

How can I choose one?????

PeePaw took pictures of Edee this weekend and they ALL are wonderful!!! I want to print some, but I can't pick from the millions that he took! I had other posts I wanted to do before this one, but these pics are too cute to keep to myself~! HA!! I chose to share these because she has some of the absolute best expressions!!!
