MMMMMMMMMM..Donuts!

Ok so I've been wanting to make more things at home, I worry about the preservatives and other stuff that's in the food we buy. We haven't had donuts in a long time. and I decided to try making them at home. OH MY GAAAAWD!! they are so easy to make and they taste so much BETTER then anything you'd get somewhere else. Aidan had one and he comes back to me in the kitchen with his plate and says "that was the best donut I've ever had!" So GOOD. we did one batch and it made 18 donuts and about 24 donut holes. we put powdered sugar on half and a mix of cinnamon and sugar on the other half. Can't wait to do that again. Here's a picture of our donuts. They aren't perfect circles, but they taste awesome!

We're Back!

had a great Vacation, been back for a few days already, but have been trying to get back in the swing of things here. We had a great time and boy do we miss everyone already! pictures to come soon, still need to get them off the camera. Did take a whole lot this time but did manage to get seveal cute ones.

O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, thou are finally taken down! I loved the tree for christmas, but hadn't had time to take it down. Ian finally helped me with it last night so Aidan and I could get his new kitchen where it needed to be. It's nice to have a little bit of space again. even if it is filled with toys.
So we've been talking about moving again, this happens periodically, then we get busy again and never get anywhere with it. I'm going to actualy contact a realtor about sending us some listings. I'm also going to pick up a few of those house books at the entrance to the grocery store. See if anything catches our eye.
Ian's work has started moving a few of the lines to the new building so it's only a matter of time before he's working at the new location. Which means we need to digure out how toget there and we really need to be living closer that way. It would shorten both of our commutes, but it will put us farther from my mom and childcare. There's a lot to think about.
So that's it for now, just a little update.

"Home....

...is where the heart is." I never really understood that until I was blessed to become a part of my new family in NJ. My heart, my home really is in NJ, we didn't even get to the corner of the street when were leaving to come back here and I was missing them all already. It's really funny when people hear me talk about going home for christmas, they always ask "But didn't you grow up around here? You're not from NJ are you?" My answer to that is always "I am now (from NJ)." Even my little guy gets very excited about going home for a visit. It is truly where we all want to be.
We miss you all so very much! Let the job hunt begin!
