I'm Baaack!



Well, after a lengthy, unintended sabbatical, I am back on the blog! I feel so guilty to have left it alone for so long. So much has been going on! The whole month of July and the first half of August I was attending classes everyday to finish up my English degree. As soon as I finished, my daughter started back to school. Third grade! I can't believe it! Also, I have been filling out paperwork and going to all kinds of appointments to prepare for our move. I’ve been busy, busy, busy!

Now things are settling back down, we are back into the school routine, and we have gotten all of our moving paperwork turned in and now we are waiting on "go." We should have our official paper orders by the first week of October. So excited! Less than four months to go!


Well now I am going to start making more time for you! I am starting this week to experiment with some British recipes I am curious about. I have to say, some of the dishes’ names are quite strange (“Toad in a Hole,” and “Meat and Kidney Pie”? Sounds like Halloween Party food to me!) Some of the ingredients have me a little deterred, as well (Lamb kidneys or pork stomachs, anyone?) With that in mind, I am going to start with something that sounds not only yummy, but also really easy: Yorkshire Puddings!


So meet me back here later this week to see how my experiment with this recipe goes! For now, I want to share with y’all some images of the busywork I’ve been up to lately. 

My precious little princess turned 8! So, of course, we had a birthday bash! I've barely turned around and now it's about time to do my son's!
Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork! These folders were double in size just a two weeks ago. I have had paperwork and appointments coming out my ears for this move! Fortunately, for me, I am finished. My hubbie, on the other hand, is just getting started...
Back to school means homework for her and me!

Here's a look at my homework...working on my honors project. (Yes, it takes two computers...)
Our most recent venture: working the Air Show. It was my first! Very cool! (But don't ask me what kind of planes these are...)
Canadian Parachute Team!
Hubbie working one of the hot dog stands-it turned out to be a fun day! We were really exhausted afterwards.
Come back soon!
