It is in the middle of nowhere over by Cherubusco, set back in the woods. It is the coolest place! So secluded and peaceful. It is run by a husband and wife that used to work as missionaries. They have the best chai and hot chocolate. They do serve a few kinds of sandwiches, and they have a nice dessert menu. The sandwiches are served on fresh homemade bread that is just great. The desserts are different every day. </span></div><span style="background-color: #4c1130;"></span><br />

Had I known all these years how easy it is to make your own granola, well, it would be a staple already in our house like it is going to be from now on. It did not get as crunchy as I would have liked, because the igniter went out on our oven during the baking part of the recipe. But it was still delicious. It made a lot, and I was worried that it would be too much to have around and would go bad before it got eaten, but Forrest finished the last of it this morning and I would have already made more but our oven is still not fixed. Waiting on a replacement part and it will hopefully be as good as new by Monday. To make a long story short, I love to make and have granola around. It feels healthier than most anything else I might get a craving for. It is my new addiction, especially over yogurt. </span>Stepheniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13170246789118878534noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251368682096462240.post-23096640773628702942011-02-02T15:21:00.000-05:002011-02-02T15:21:06.260-05:00How things are with us<div style="color: #134f5c;">Well, at this moment, Oliver is taking a much-needed nap. Karissa is practicing her name in the kitchen, and I am here at the computer. The house is good. We need to paint our room and then we will be DONE! After that I don't plan on looking at a can of paint for a very, very long time. Forrest is on his way home now. He almost didn't make it to work this morning, the snow was very thick and they hadn't plowed our road yet. I'm so glad I didn't have to go anywhere today. Oliver has started crawling. Yay! He can go a few inches before plopping back down on his stomach. He is so proud of himself too. You can see it in his face when he is up on his hands and knees and starts rocking back and forth with this big, goofy grin on is face :) I really hope we get a replacement camera soon. I will post pictures as soon as I can.</div><div style="color: #134f5c;"> I hope all of you out there are well and safe and warm.</div><span style="color: #45818e;">Stephenie </span>Stepheniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13170246789118878534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251368682096462240.post-45488559299671601682011-01-28T20:37:00.002-05:002011-01-28T20:41:12.148-05:00Homemade GranolaI have been thinking about granola lately.

This is mostly to do with the fact that I have been painting non-stop in the new house and trying to get everything in order. Also we still do not have a working camera, but hopefully that will change soon.<br />
<br />
I wanted to write and briefly say that the house is wonderful, we are all loving it. Forrest is happy to have so many handy-man projects like putting up curtains and changing light fixtures and new drawer pulls in the kitchen. Karissa loves having her own room and living in a house with a bathtub:) Oliver will appreciate it more when he is older. I just love having more space!<br />
<br />
We will post pictures as soon as we can. Thanks to all of our family and friends for your support!<br />

I am blogging this to enter a drawing for a Timbali bag :)<br />
<br />
These super-cool bags are more than an accessory!<br />
<br />
They are made by women in Swaziland, really really poor women. These women then volunteer their time at feeding care points in Swaziland to feed thousands of orphans. Why are there so many orphans in Swaziland, you ask? <br />
<br />
Well, Swaziland has the highest AIDS rate in the world and the average life-span is under 35. You can imagine if all most of the adults 35 and older are dead---that leaves a tremendous amount of children that are without parents. Many of these children are HIV+ as well. Timbali Crafts was started to give these women an income as well as spiritual nourishment which is also passed on to the orphans they care for. Here is their website: <a href="http://timbalicrafts.org/">Timbalicrafts.org</a><br />
<br />
There is a tag on each purse. On this tag, the lady who made the purse has written her name. Most of the bios can be found on the <a href="http://timbalicrafts.org/">Timbali Crafts</a> website. <br />
<br />

We bought our camera less than a year ago, and it worked fine for the first few months. Then it would start eating through batteries, or so we thought. It turns out that the batteries were fine, but the camera was not working properly. So we sent it in and got a replacement. Now we have had this one for a few months and it is doing the same thing. It will shut off and tell us to replace the batteries even if there are brand new batteries in it. Needless to say this is all very frustrating, especially right before our son's first Christmas. So don't be expecting any pictures for a little while. Hopefully we can get this taken care of very fast.</span>Stepheniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13170246789118878534noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251368682096462240.post-14885346192498223342010-12-06T12:57:00.003-05:002010-12-06T12:58:51.605-05:00Smiley Boy<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #134f5c; text-align: center;">I had to post this picture of Oliver with that big grin and his little mohawk. He is going to be 5 months in less than a week. I feel a little like he is growing too fast for me to keep up with. That's life, I guess. Karissa is going to be 4 in 9 days. It doesn't seem like that should be possible either. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Of course, I forgot my camera. It was interesting to watch the kids expressions seeing all the food and trying to get them to understand that this food was going to be given away to people who can't afford to buy groceries. I am really glad we had the opportunity to do this and I hope something that was said stuck, because I want my kids to grow up wanting to help others who need it. I am thankful for everything that God has provided and will continue to provide for us. I pray that I can have a giving spirit every day, not just when it is almost Thanksgiving and I remember to be thankful for everything we have. I pray that for all of you too.</span></div><div style="color: #783f04;"><br />

At first I was very sad about this, because it seems like he grew up overnight. Now I am slightly happy about it because it means that pretty soon he will be able to feed himself, and it is so cute to watch babies feed themselves with their little chubby fingers. :)</span></span></span></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
