speaking of molars

Elijah got his right bottom one. No sign of the left, but I'm sure it's not far behind. Already these new chompers are coming in quite handy. What, with chewing meat, and all. Actually, they are really great for those pesky raw veggies, like celery and cucumber (of which he is a big fan).

My cousin Ashley finally married Kyle yesterday. (After 10 years!!) The wedding was in a gorgeous traditional Catholic church in Haubstadt - St. James - where the "old" Josts and Wolfs are buried. I saw some of the gravestones for the first time yesterday. took a few photos too. It was kind of neat. Also Ashley looked beautiful in her white and "old gold" (yes, for Purdue) gown. :) Elijah wore real shoes for the first time to the wedding. Grandma-Great bought him the cutest pair of brown suede ones at Target special for the occasion. He was the cat's meow! Just ask anyone.

Elijah and I are still trying to kick these nasty colds. It's been more than a week, which is unusual for us. Mine has settled into my chest in the form of a painful cough. His is more in his sinuses. I'm glad for that, because chest coughs in little ones are so hard.

My cousin Amy gave us a Little Tyke play gym for E. (The kind with a slide and places to climb up and around) He thinks he's such big stuff playing on it! I do still have to help with the slide. He already figured out its fun to put rocks down the slide too.

One last thing for today. Since I'm a part-time stay-at-home-mom now, I've decided to start being a better home-maker, cook, house-keeper, etc. (Man, that's a lot of hyphens for one paragraph!) I've always enjoyed cooking and actually am pretty stinking good at it (if I do say so myself... or you can just ask Libby or Moxi).

So, naturally...

I started a recipe blog.
