My loves.

How lucky I am to wake up and start each day with these smiles. After breakfast they go upstairs and play play play together. This is how I found them the other day. My heart just happily dances at these little faces.
And this is what is growing in my tummy. 29 weeks. The doctor said we're on the (Chloe) 8lb12oz track rather than the (Ezra) 7lb9oz track. When we had one of these 3D ultrasounds with Chloe the image was slightly (I can say it now cause she is sooo cute) horrifying. The tech was going on and on about how "cute" the baby looked and Brad and I were just trying not to laugh and we just wanted to look away. So technology has come a long way-this baby looks like a chunk of love.
And these....Oh man. They were sitting in the kitchen and I had to really will-power myself to not go in and eat. This is what i've been missing everytime I snub mirainge? (how to you spell that word?) They were so easy to make and so good. Try them out.

Chocolate Covered snowpeaks
4 egg whites
1 and 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cream of tarter
Put all but the sugar in a blender and start it mixing.
Slowly add the sugar.
Let the mixer just blend, blend, blend until it looks thick and white. When you lift the blender attachment it should create a pick.
I put the mix into a ziploc bag, cut off a tip, and made the rounds.
Heat in an over for 1 hour at 225.
Let cool then dip in chocolate. (the kids loved helping with the dipping)
Next time I will definitely dip in graham crackers (i'm such a sucker for smores) or dip in nuts. I love texture.
Enjoy these little treats.
