Baked Oatmeal

LOTS of this has been eaten in our home the past few months as we have simplified breakfast menus and routines. And the good news, we all LOVE it!

Baked Oatmeal

4.5 c quick oats (or lightly blended whole oats)
1/2 c brown sugar
3 t baking powder
1 1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t cinnamon
3 eggs
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 c butter, melted

Combine all ingredients. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until set.
Serve warm with fresh fruit and milk. Or enjoy without the extras!

Welcome Ladies!

We welcomed home our two ladies, Rya and Adia, on 12/12/12 and I CAN NOT believe they have already been home over two months. They are a joy and a blessing and add a wonderful new dynamic to our family. Everyone has adjusted well up to this point though there are certainly daily challenges due to the fact there are four children 5 and under in our home :) Our good friend Libby Asay, of Libby Asay Studio, took some family pictures a month ago and captured the personality of each of our loves!

We shared this little glimpse into the personalities of our kiddos with friends and family for Valentines Day:

Owen (5.5 years) continues to be the model big brother and keeps us (and his Early-Kindergarten teacher) on our toes with his many curious questions.

Rya (4.5 years) is such a sweet girl, a wonderful helper, and a very quick learner. She is almost always singing or dancing.

Gibson (2.5 years), our resident comedian, keeps us smiling with his many hilarious facial expressions. He is learning lots about his world right now and taking in all the changes.

Adia (18 months) has a whole lot of personality for such a little lady. She likes carrying around any object as her “baby” and loves being chased by her daddy.

neither height nor depth, nor anything in all creation, can separate us from the 

LOVE of GOD that is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD.

Romans 8:39
