It always seems like I have a good month with multiple posts and then I have months like this one, where I’m just too busy to accomplish anything outside of what I’ve got going on in life. My in-laws have been visiting this past week and so do not doubt that I’ve been cooking (aiming to impress, you know) delicious food like braised short ribs and a lovely ham and a surprisingly good bourbon peach and raspberry pie, but I took no pictures and wrote no posts for it because I just haven’t had the time. Tomorrow marks another busy week and after that, I’ve got still more photo editing so I’m not sure where another recipe post will find its way to this website in September.
In other news, my oldest son, Grey, turned 3 on the 15th. They grow so fast, no matter how many times people tell you that while you’re pregnant you never really believe it until it starts happening right in front of your face. It seems like just yesterday he was a tiny little baby, and yet I look at him now and he’s practically a teenager. He started preschool on Monday, too, so it’s been a lot of fun around here with all the preparations.
I read a recipe this morning for a grape and pear pie, so once this place has been cleared of cake and cupcakes, I think I’ll make that and let you know how it goes.

I know what you mean. Just yesterday I was watching G-monkey climb over toys and cruise along the sofa and I thought, “What happened to my baby?” It was not that long ago when I could hold him in one arm; he’s too heavy for that now. Who is this crawling, jumping, climbing child in my living-room and where did my 6 lbs. baby go?
We’re not 3 or in preschool yet, but I so know what you mean. Anyway, just wanted to say that.
Can’t wait to see more recipes!
I can totally understand the feast/famine bit though you have significantly more exciting and real reasons to be busy. I’m just so impressed you manage to get up here what you do. I’m also a horrible human being and haven’t told you yet that am loving the new theme.
We all run out of time:) Have a good weekend!
