One morning it actually snowed here, so Charis and I shut ourselves inside and baked. I took a stab at a healthy home-made granola bar recipe (not so tasty). I also made granola (which Stephen loves) and bran muffins to freeze.





Charis likes to sit in her bar seat and watch me bake. She smiled, took her necklaces off, put her necklaces on, sang. What a bundle of joy!







Here's the beautiful, Anthropologie apron that Stephen gave me for Christmas. Now I have a skip in my step when I cook.

Baking days can be so fun, though! I have one of my throw-together recipes for chewy granola if you want me to write it down for you. Just let me know.

My baking days were always great experiences, like the time I made 20 pizzas so I could freeze them. They were fabulous, but my kids couldn't tell a good pizza from bad.

She's a girl who seems to like her jewelry! Love the pictures--can't wait to see you guys in person though. Sounds like Stephen is getting his fiber--Mom

Hi Jennifer, We've been following your family since last summer when your mom gave us this blog site. It's been so encouraging hearing how God is molding you and Stephen into the couple, parents, individuals that He wants you to be. Charis is beautiful and we love all the pictures and especially that wonderful video of her first steps! We love you hope we can see you sometime soon!! The Wisconsin Steinhauers

Hmmm...Charis seems more interested in "fashion" than "domestics"....now what could THAT mean?
