Glimpses from recent life

In no certain order, here are glimpses from recent life. Both the good and bad, LOL…

Joe and I are getting ready to move, again (still in the Nashville area, just down to College Grove), and Kelsey, Kellie, and I (all three of us denim-clad) snapped a pic while we checked out the new house. A new house is exciting and I’m so grateful. But oy, I do not like moving. Who does, though, right?

Last week, Kellie sent this next pic to our Alexander family text thread with the caption, “Someone went face first into the shelf.” (Ouch, bless him!)

(He was fine and the mark quickly healed.)

Then this pic quickly followed from Kellie with, “That same someone did this.”

Let me quickly add that Leo DID NOT HIT HER WITH THE POT. He merely placed said pot on her head. Still, Ari was not amused. Can’t blame her. Boys! [Note: I love that Kellie took a hot second to snap that pic. Hey, gotta capture the memories, right?]

Next, Kels shared this image on her Instagram story. LOL Love it.

Are you a picture taker when it comes to food? I am when it’s in a pretty little cast iron skillet. And those dishes! So lovely. Kels said the dessert was delicious, too!

I have long wanted to visit the Museum of the Bible, and while I still have not, Kelsey and her boyfriend, Jon, did and said it was marvelous. They highly recommend it. Have any of you visited? If yes, what were your impressions?

Next, I snapped a pic of Ari asleep in her bouncy chair with a gorgeous afghan my dear Aunt Jean (of Winchester, TN) made for her birth. It’s just as cozy and snuggly as it looks! So is Ari.

I adore keeping my grands and snapped this one morning as Leo ate breakfast…

I remember we kind of worried about him at around six months old when he didn’t seem at all interested in “real” food. Well, turns out it was the pureed food he didn’t like. All that mushy stuff. As you can see, he now eats like a champ. Nothing wrong with that boy’s appetite.

Lastly, if you haven’t tried this creamer, oh my, please do. Absolutely delicious. Close to life-changing. Definitely major-latte-coffee-boosting-enjoyment change. So yummy.

And don’t you dare judge me on that Ghirardelli Salted Caramel Syrup. Also delicious—and purchased for Kurt’s birthday fried apples pies we had this past weekend (HBD again, Kurt! Love you, bud). I really need to shove that bottle to the back of the fridge so I don’t see it. Better yet, give it to the kids.

That’s all for this Tuesday from my corner of the world. I’m hard at work on another book and the deadline is quickly approaching. I’m determined to make it. More about that story soon. It’s another one that I’ve wanted to write for a very long time.

So tell me…
* Are you a fan of moving?
*Or have you ever had a “pothead” in your family (like we have with Ari)?
*What about snapping pics of your food? Like me, do you adore desserts in cute, little cast-iron skillets?
*Ever been to the Museum of the Bible? If yes, what were your impressions?
*Do you have a sweet Aunt Jean who so generously makes gorgeous afghans for everyone in the family? (Yep, she made one for me, too.)
*Finally, have you ever tried Silk dairy-free Oatmeal Cookie Oat Creamer? (If you have a favorite creamer, please share that too.)

Hugs, and I look forward to hearing from you!
