when the dad's away...

...the mom and the boy play.



With Ben gone, Rhone and I are spending tons of time together- all day everyday. Rhone is having fun getting lots of attention and I am exhausted from keeping up with him.

Making yummy homemade blueberry muffins. Not just 1 spoon, but 2!

Last minute I was asked to bring treats to a young women activity. I didn't know I was volunteering to make lemon lavender cookies and rose petal tea scones. It was a little stressful to make them last minute, but they turned out surprisingly good. It was kinda nice to embrace my hippie side again. When I get chance I will have to post recipes.

Yes, do post the recipe! I was staring at the picture thinking, "Are those roses!?!" I'm so intrigued . . . I've always wanted to bite into a rose--wish I was kidding. Ask D.

I'm sorry you're exhausted, but I know you're doing an AMAZING job being a good mom.

I didn't realize that Ben was gone. Another mission? Same place? Hopefully it isn't nearly as long this time. Thanks for being such a good mom! I can't imagine how hard it is. Love ya for doing it!

Looks like Rhone is quite the helper! Why is it the more mess, the more fun? I can't wait to get Rhone and jake together. Hope this round with Ben gone isn't as long. And pretty impressive treats.

What a gourmet cook you are becoming! You could open an alternative restaraunt! Love the pictures. I am so glad you are enjoying your time with Rhone. They grow so incredibly fast. We miss you.

Wow, those treats looked very yummy. As for just the two of you, great job! I wouldn't be able to do it! I hope Ben isn't gone too long. Keep it up! So what is your church calling?
