Catching Up

Happy Tuesday!

I have fallen way behind on my blogging lately. 

I had made two attempts to post, but my plans were thwarted because my computer has had something against my camera :P

The computer decided to leave his personal opinion in the past and now I am uploading around 700 pictures lol! Thanks to Benjamin my camera has a huge memory card! 

January has been refreshing and accomplishing so far. Cars and computers are 90% working again and just waiting on our registration from Arizona so we can drive our new (older) car! We are so thankful that we could still register our vehicles in Arizona (due to the military) because Florida is pretty pricey! 

Winston is over eleven months now. Only a few more weeks and we will be celebrating his one year birthday! 

I am excited to pose Winston for his one year pictures. I need a little of my sister's creativity :) 

Last week I checked the Goodwill and I am so glad I did! I found a nice wooden high chair for the little guy. He is so cute sitting in it and playing with whatever we put on the tray for him.

I have nursed him constant this whole year and we are just now giving him little things to taste and try. It is so much fun feeding him and watching his expressions.

We bought a juicer this month as well and I am in LOVE! I have been juicing up everything! Maybe I'll post some recipes of what we have been juicing. I'm loving carrots and apples right now. 

My second favorite holiday is just around the corner! Valentines Day!!

I need to begin thinking of how to celebrate it. With Valentines, our anniversary my Mom's birthday and now Winston's birthday, its a lot of celebrating! 

 Since our anniversary is so close to Valentines we may just combine them :)

Here are a few pictures from the 700 that uploaded successfully on my computer :)

His new highchair! 

 

 Its a little beat up and scratched on the front, but nothing a little scratch free dusting spray can't take care of, thanks Mom for the suggestion!

Mounds of fruit! I didn't even capture all the carrots, celery and beats in the fridge!

Dressed up in daddy's uniform ;D A present from Grammy and Grandpa.

I made some Vanilla Bean Sugar as little gifts for many of our local friends here.

I ordered some vanilla beans online (which was much cheaper) and had fun putting these little presents together.

They can use the sugar for tea or coffee, the sugar will have a nice aroma of vanilla in it.

This idea was from Nigella's Chirstmas book

;)

You cut open the vanilla bean to expose the meat inside and then cut

the bean into smaller portions.

Then place a stick or two in the jar and cover with sugar.

The sugar needs to sit in with the vanilla bean for at least a week.

Winston's first Christmas. 

Here he is on Christmas Eve.

Right before we opened up a package from Grandpa and Grammy.

Which were some homemade jammies for baby. They are so cute!

I also had some yummy homemade Creme Brulee waiting to be devoured. I used some of the leftover vanilla bean and oh my was it amazing!

The most recent shot of Winnie. 

In his Sunday clothes right after church.

Happy January everyone and many blessings for this New Year!
