This week we tried a new breakfast recipe that was super simple and the kids loved it.  YUMMY!

J. Crew in Portugal

A friend of mine discovered that J. Crew did a photo shoot in Portugal for their new catalog.  I was so excited to check out the pictures, but then discovered they had  a whole section on their website about Portugal and the photo-shoot. It is so well done and the pictures are great.  The picture on the front was taken in the Baixa (downtown) and we love to walk and shop down this street.  Click here and enjoy!http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/PassportToPortugal.jsp

A Wonderful Man & a GREAT PaPa

I just returned from a week in the States.  My 90yr old grandfather was in the last stages of lung cancer and I returned to visit with him.  I was able to spend a few days with him before he passed.  I was so blessed to have this time with him, but even more blessed to here all the stories about him from friends and family.  He was a quite man and always smiling.  I was talking with a cousin who said, "We should have recorded his laugh."  He had a very distinguishable, contagous laugh.  We loved to see him get tickled becuase once he started laughing, he could hardly stop.

He will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on in our hearts and wonderful memories.

Thought For The Day

While reading a book by Rachel Hauck I ran across this thought and it was so profound.

"God wants me to stop and face Him, not dialog with my back to Him as I go about my day with half-hearted faith."
