See how all my great intentions can leave me stressed out at 8:49 on Sunday night? I was supposed to post a brilliant, photo filled blog for all my fans (yes, both of you!) to enjoy before I go to bed tonight. Oops!
It’s been a good weekend! Yesterday I cleaned my refrigerator and made Caribbean Crab Cakes. They were very bland. Today I made Irish Black Bean Chili … now that was tasty. The beans cooked in Guinness beer for a couple hours…. Irish chili is different but delicious!
Nathan didn’t go to basketball practice on Friday because his hip is giving him trouble. He really wanted to go, but we decided he should rest it for a few days. My best guess is this… growing spurt. I would bet my life savings that he will grow an inch in the next month. I think that is extra difficult for him, but I also think he will get through it just fine.
Happy Birthday to Matt!
Ok, that’s it for now. More tomorrow or the next day… with pictures I promise!

I’ll be back looking for those pictures. Happy Birthday to Matt!
I’m blogging about our vacation and all the neat things we’re finding in New Mexico. Check it out.
Love, Mom
