Odds and Ends...

Whew...tired eyes seem to zone as I type this. It has been a crazy past few days. We had Little Man at the doctor's office yesterday for yet another time. This time due to some mysterious lumps on his head. After many tests were run and normal reports came back, the doctor was able to rule out fairly certainly that Little Man does not have any what he called "nasty stuff" (i.e, cancers, etc.) So, we are gratefully thanking God for that news.  Still uncertain what the lumps are from, so we will continue to make the journey back for another check-up. We did find out that Little Man has allergies... not sure to what at this time.

Family is coming into town starting tonight with the snow storm looming. I've been busy running errands and taking care of last minute odds and ends before they get here.  I feel like I've just run a marathon and am just sitting down for the first time in days.

Here were some fun highlights from the last few days:

Zoe says... "Look Mommy, it is the cross that Jesus died on."

Here is the make-shift "green house" that holds our starter plants for our garden. Broccoli is winning with 5 sprouts already coming up!

Little Man loves his tubby time... he's all smiles

We made some fantastic Spinach Balls today. They are a great appetizer and Little Man loved them. Here's the recipe:

Spinach Balls
2 Pkgs. frozen chopped spinach (cooked and drained)
1 large chopped onion (in food processor)
4 beaten eggs
2 Cups Italian style bread crumbs
3/4 C. melted margarine
1/2 C. parmesan cheese
1 Cup Shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 Tsp garlic powder

Cook and drain spinach. Add onion, eggs, and bread crumbs. The m ix in all other ingredients. Refrigerate for two hours.  Shape into 2 inch balls and place on a greased cookie sheet, or use Pam. Heat oven to 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.
