vacation blues

ozzie is having s'mores withdrawals.

menu of the week

soba noodles with ginger scallion sauce
cilantro thai grilled chicken- i added the juice of one lime
asian turkey meatballs with lime sesame dipping sauce
pan roasted chicken with vegetables- i love the versatility of this recipe. i added brocoli and kale instead of spinach and loved it. such a great way to add more vegetables to the dinner table.

ozzie's first fishing adventure

oscar and ozzie at his preschool fieldtrip fishing for trout.

watch me grow

ozzie's fantastic preschool teacher traced pictures of the kids bodies. he is now fascinated with measurements and we are currently on the hunt for our own growth chart. have i mentioned how much i love his teacher? sneaking math in and making it fun!
