Cooking together


Yum Yum Yum...they were soooooooo good!

Brian and I decided to tackle real Mexican enchiladas.  We have the recipe and we called the grandma for a rundown before we started.  I don't know why we were so afraid to make these except they required authentic ingredients that we really can't get in Italy.  With a few modifications they came out wonderfully!  Brian and I enjoyed making them together, and discovered that they aren't hard at all.  Both of us have been trying out different recipes and ways of cooking lately; I guess we are trying to spice up our dinners! We are so proud of our cooking! 

Oh, Ms. Kennedy is quite the baker.  She loves to help me bake cookies, but she rarely eats them.  This really isn't good for my waistline, but its super fun helping her bake. 

We have a Preschoolian

Kennedy started school last Friday, and she loves it. The base offers a MWF program that lasts from 8:30 to 11:30, so its a great opportunity for her to socialize with other children.  Last Friday was a little hard for me.  I had a ton of mixed emotions, but I put my smiley face on and left Ms. Kennedy.  I left her for 3 hours!!!!!   I'm pretty sure I've never left her with anyone that wasn't family for 3 hours before.  I know I'm over protective and all those other crazy things, but she is My Girl!  Really, the only thing that matters is that Kennedy had a wonderful time at school, and Ms. Jan, her teacher, said she did excellent.  Tomorrow is day 2 of school; we'll see how she does then. 

Kennedy definitely has a full schedule this fall.  Monday and Wednesday, school & dance.  Tuesday's she has gymnastics...she is overjoyed to do cartwheels and handstands!  Thursdays are our free day, and Friday is just school.  I honestly don't know how moms of multiple children do it.  I remember my mom saying she felt like a taxi cab; I see how having 3 girls could make you feel that way.  

I will keep everyone informed on our family happenings.  Be in prayer for our transition as Brian prepares for another "vacation" in a few weeks.
