I love Mike for many reasons but one thing I am especially grateful for is his love of cooking. For those of you who know me well know that the time I enjoy spending in my kitchen is when I bake. A love of sweets runs deep among the women in my family, and I have inherited some recipes that aren’t only yummy but bring back wonderful memories of my childhood. However, cooking a big elaborate dinner is Mike’s territory; it’s his stress relief.
This past weekend, our good friend Chris Hughes came over for a night and Mike made a delicious garlic chicken recipe. We all agreed that the chicken didn’t “fall” of the bone, it “jumped” off! We had a fun night that included Chris, Mike and Noah playing the Wii, Mike’s great meal and a fun new card game Chris taught us (a passion for card games also runs deep in the women of my family).
Amelia has enjoyed bath time since her first time in her tub around two weeks old - but today was a whole new experience! I would fill up a cup of water and would hold it about a foot above her tummy and slowly let the water out. Boy, did she give a great reaction; she would splash her arms and legs wildly while squealing in delight! Noah, who often likes to help at her bath time wanted to take a video of her (below). The three of us had such a fun time, her bath lasted a LOT longer than usual, close to 30 minutes. It was pure “Mommy Heaven”!
The older she gets the more she “studies” him and wants to interact. It’s been so special for me to watch the two of them. Honestly, there is no better feeling as a mother than seeing the two of them smile!
