Matt:Â Tori, do you have a backpack?
Tori:Â No, I don’t!
Matt:Â That’s right, you won’t get a backpack until you get to be a boy like me!
 Considering that the three people in our household who own backpacks are boys, I guess that this was a very reasonable assumption!
I just feel like a TERRIBLE mother sometimes when I can’t seem to make anything “special” for my “special” boys. However, tonight, for the first time in a very long time, I actually cooked something that Drew and Matt (who have to follow the SCD-Specific Carbohydrate Diet) LIKED! It all started when I tried to make babaganoush a couple of weeks ago. Chris and I enjoyed it, but the kids weren’t too impressed. At the time, I thought “eggplant seems white like potatoes” and I wondered what would happen if I cut up one in the shape of french fries, salted it like crazy and fried it. So, I tried it tonight, and Matt actually ENJOYED eating his “vegetable” tonight! Drew said that they were so good that I should tell somebody about them! I thank the Lord for this “special” night!
This is one of the last pictures of our princess in a diaper. And the first of her in a boa.
Yesterday she learned the way of the pull-up and panties. There’s no going back now!
Our boys were absolutely delighted with the big, wet flakes that fell for a couple of hours this afternoon. They especially enjoyed jumping on the trampoline as it became icy slick! It was really very pretty as the snow swirled through the air, and we had just a little accumulation. These guys now think winter was a worthwhile season!
David and Anna have a new blog, where Anna tells about my new nephew Devon and their new farm!
