I made this

and it was delicious. Truth be told I thought the cake was a little on the dry side but it was very rich and decadent.

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Finally . . . some photos of the Great Pumpkin Hunt of '09. The patch we visited included a petting zoo and train ride. Pretty cool.

They say big babies are mellow. Could be that or his yoga/meditation pose.

One Week Old

My three boys

Sawyer is one week old today. So far (and I am about to jinx myself) he is a good eater, a good sleeper and and generally only cries when he is cold and getting a diaper change. He loves to be held - but really, what baby doesn't want to be held and snuggled? He is very sweet. And big brother Finn is adjusting well. He likes to gently pat Sawyer's head and say "Don't cry baby." Of course, that is only when Sawyer is not actually crying. He also likes to give Sawyer kisses, including Eskimo kisses (you know, nose-to-nose). Sawyer reminds me a lot of Finn at this stage. I just want to hold him in my arms all day long and snuggle. It's pretty awesome. Except for the sleep deprivation thing.

Here are some photos from his first few days:

Reading with Daddy

Yes, that is Jason snuggled in my hospital bed. The nurses got a kick out of that.
