Saturday

Pardon this photo being fuzzy but it shows John thrilled, mischievous expression when he found two highlighter pens. He used them to pretend to write on boxes because he saw me writing on so many boxes during packing.
Our apartment has a second-floor balcony which is proving very convenient for getting John outside for playtime. This afternoon it was rainy but warm enough and balmy, so I took stir-crazy John out onto the balcony. He rode his little red car while I relaxed and read a book, of all things!

Our boy is quite the engineer. Here is video of him trying to figure out the window-mounting device for our GPS device.

What's Cookin'? I recently discovered what I think is a new cooking show on Discovery Health. I like how the cook is not a trained chef and his goal is to cook healthy things fast, so he advocates food out of jars and other such easy stuff. One night I made Roasted Tomato and Goat Cheese Salad (John really enjoyed eating the steak!) and tonight I made Mediterranean Chicken Wrap. I hope to try the Chimichito as well.

  1. Hey Newly Carolina Lauers,
    I hope you are settling into your new place nicely! The balcony looks perfect for a toddler! I printed your recipe selections and look forward to trying them out this week. Kiss that sweet red head for me!
    Love, Aunt Holly

  2. We must have the same GPS. Is yours a Garmin?

  3. Oh, how heavenly to have that bit of quiet time while the little ones play. While this age certainly has its own set of challenges, it sure has its share of simpler, quiet moments!
