The latest...

It is currently 28 degrees outside and the snow is coming down fast. I had to get a running start, just to make it in the driveway--and it's only been snowing for 20 minutes. It freezes on the road and then just piles on top of itself. I really need to get some snow tires, stat! I just got home from canning with a couple of friends. My friend Ruthie is the real expert and she did a lot of it. I stirred and poured (tons) of sugar into the bubbling pot, scooped the thick goodness into each jar and she carefully sealed each jar of precious jam. It was a lot of fun. Like anything, it was much more enjoyable to do it with friends than try and tackle it alone.

Speaking of friends, my running partner Jess and I trade babysitting while we take turns running when the husbands aren't home. Caleb's new friend Maddy is a girly-girl through and through! Notice her adorable, much loved, rag-tag tu-tu slip!! She's pretty stingy and Caleb is pretty grabby, so they get along well.
