Pumpkin Slime

Sean and I were out shopping one day and he saw these big pumpkins and begged me to get one. I decided I could make a homemade fresh pumpkin pie with it. So, we took one home (plus two small ones for him and sister to decorate) and proceeded to empty out the contents of the pumpkin. At first I tried to have him use his hands to dig the seeds and goo out, but that didn't last long...did you know that after a while pumpkin slime kind of stings your hands? So, I gave Sean a scoop and he went after it, making funny faces the entire time. It was so funny, I had to take a few pictures. Unfortunately this wasn't my nice camera. So, the pictures aren't very nice, but it saved the memories just as well...

By the way, I found out later, after I had begun the process of making the pie, that the small pumpkins are better suited for pies. The big ones...not so much. However, I just had to puree the pulp like crazy and add a little bit more sugar and cinnamon and the pie turned out great....especially piled high with whipped cream. Yum!

History

So, thanks to my home group girls, I've decided to create a blog. I really have enjoyed looking at all their blogs and thought it would be nice to create my own. It's a nice way to keep in touch, especially for the family members and friends that live out of town.
So, I thought it would be nice to start out with a bit of history...some old baby pics of Paul and I and kids and such.
I'll have to start with the beginning of our family since, I don't have any wedding pictures scanned. I'll post those another time.

This is Breanna in 2002, at a week or so of age...she is a precious blessing from heaven. This is one of my favorite pictures of her as a baby. 

This is our new family back in 2003. Breanna was nearly a year old in this picture.

Her first steps...

She finally had some hair at about age two-and-a-half!

Then came Sean, in 2006. Breanna was a proud big sister.

One of Sean's first couple of days.

1 year old!

His most recent photo at the age of 4.

 And Breanna at the age of 8.

This picture is a couple of years ago. I'll have to get the most recent ones up sometime..I can't seem to find them right now.

So, that's it for right now. I will post a few history type blogs to catch people up the next couple of times. Then, I hope to start updating on our different happenings going on in our lives now. Thanks for looking!
