So everything I made last week turned out great. I made a double batch of cereal bars which still didn't last long in this house. The bread was great, as was the rootbeer. The ice cream turned out fantastic! I added coconut milk and organic dutch cocoa powder to make it a coconut chocolate ice cream and it was divine! I didn't end up making crackers or challah bread. I will be doing that this week though!

We had our very first Shabbat dinner this evening. It was great. We also attended a Messianic service for the first time as well and absolutely loved it. The music was beautiful, the Rabbi was wonderful and the people were so warm and welcoming. I also think I found a great new friend there. She lives nearby, and is as crunchy as can be. The Rabbi wants to come by our house this week to meet us and get to know us better. I just feel so blessed and was very moved by the service.
The towel under the plate in the middle was for DD1 since we were having something kind of messy. The papers on our plates helped guide us.
The glasses were a wedding gift from a friend of ours and have a little man and woman as the handles. DH drank a full glass, I basically had a sip of mine. :)

I've got a busy week of cooking and baking so I wanted to compile a little list here to help keep track of what I'm making on what days.

Thursday:
Cereal Bars
Crackers
Friday:
Challah
Ice Cream
Bread
Saturday:
Nada ;)
Sunday:

So I'll see how this schedule works out and modify as needed. I'm usually so unorganized and then will spend a day making too many things and become exhausted.

I just thought I'd share some pictures from the 4th of July. We didn't go anywhere to see fireworks, but Charlotte enjoyed playing with sparklers outside in her new Flag outfit that my Aunt bought her. Also included are some goodbye pictures from my last appointment with my wonderful Midwife Kelley.
The 4th:
Midwife Farewell :(
Which one is the doll? LOL
