Mother's Day Kiss!

Since I hadn't shared any yet, here's a pic of Owen and Momma on Mother's Day! So sweet :)

Enjoy!

By Request: Amanda's White Rolls

I made Amanda's other dinner roll recipe (with a touch of "Maria") while cooking for the many at church and I know several you have been wanting the recipe. Turns out, Owen is a fan of this "bwed" too so I can tie him into this post :)

Owen is adjusting well, loves his papa and is starting to use a handful of English words regularly. We are quite positive he understands us almost 100% of the time so I'm guessing his English will just take off at some point. He is a very good little boy and is already learning how to use his sweet smile (and sometime whining) to his advantage!

Ok, here's the recipe:

2 c warm milk
1/2 c sugar
2 T yeast
3 eggs
1 t salt
7-8 cups flour

Combine ingredients in large bowl in order listed. Add enough flour to make a soft, sticky dough. Knead.
Let rise for 60-90 minutes. Make into rolls (~30) and place on parchment covered baking sheet.
Let rise again for about 30 min.
Bake at 350 degrees for 14-18 min or until light brown.

OWEN IS HERE!

Owen is here! We're loving being parents but feeling pretty exhausted after the first few days. I'm so glad Bobby is able to be at home this whole week and it's been so fun to watch the two of them interact.

Everything seems to be going really well. Made him chicken and rice tonight since that was what a friend suggested. I'm hoping he gets a little more adventurous with his eating. And soon!

More updates to come :)
