Life in Black and White

Odds and Ends

Well the big news around here these days is that Jack has traded in his diapers for big boy underwear! I am still getting used to finding his little undies in the wash and seeing the bright colors and Ernie, Elmo, and Thomas mixed in with our clothing. 

The girls are becoming more and more adventurous and like to come up on the deck and peek in the sliding glass door. This can be very creepy at times...

Okay, I don't normally do this, because this isn't that kind of blog, but I am sharing a recipe with you all because I just KNOW that some of you out there are being bombarded with zucchini right now and looking for creative ways to use it up...

Amazing Zucchini Pancakes

2 eggs

1 cup white flour

1 cup wheat flour

1 cup plain yogurt

1 T brown sugar

2 T melted butter

2 t baking powder

1/4 t salt

pinch of cinnamon

handful of grated zucchini

1/2 cup chocolate chips

milk

Mix together and add enough milk to create desired consistency. Cook, eat, enjoy!

We are starting to see how much fun two boys are going to be...

Jack and Lily painted a big box. After looking at these photos, I decided it was finally time to give Jack a haircut...

Sawyer has become the smiliest, happiest little guy. He is a joy.

Not only does he suck his thumb, he has also discovered his toes.

The summer seems to be slipping away, but we are making the most of what is left by picnicking in the park, hitting up the local wading pools, picking green beans for the freezer, and spending time in the back yard.  I hope you all are savoring this season as well.
