Shoes, shoes, shoes

Naomi loves shoes and dresses and tights. I have no idea where this girl gets her fashion tips, but she has a style all her own. She loves this stuff. I dread in the future shopping with her, and trying to pick out clothes that she can wear out in the world. It is amazing how Mark and Naomi both come from me and Adam. They have some similarities, and so many differences. Both were great babies. Both are good sleepers. Both like trains. Mark is a bit quieter and reserved. Naomi is little miss chatterbox. Naomi is very strong and physical. Both love to read. Amazing. Both are my children. Children are amazing.

Thanksgiving is coming

So thankful for so many things. However, I know my favorite part of Thanksgiving is the dessert. I will be making three desserts. Keep in mind we have seven adults, three kids and one infant attending.

Cranberry pie - Adam's favorite. I HATE this recipe. You have to cut each cranberry in half. In order to make this pie, Adam will have to do that job.

Apple Pie - Right from the pie and pastry bible. It is delicious.

And of course, everyone's favorite:

Candied Cranberry chocolate tart.

Here is the recipe for that one:

Mrs. President

On Wednesday, Mark woke up and asked me, if I would run for president. Oh gosh, another thing to do? I really don't want this job! I asked Mark why I should run for president and he said "You do a good job of keeping me and Naomi safe. You could keep all of America safe."

Thanks kid. I still don't want the job.

He said in that case, I could run for governor.

At least even though sometimes I am the meanest mom in the world, he still has confidence in me!
