Steak Pie

Our new Friday night routine is that I (Alex) make dinner, and then we watch a movie while eating it!

Tonight's recipe: Rick Stein's Steak, Ale and Oyster Pie (but without the Oysters, because it is Summer), and Julie and Julia. Both pretty good.

Time to Catch up.

I've just spent the morning bringing the blog up to date. I put the posts in chronological order so you'll need to go all the way back to the beginning of May to see the new posts. I'm going to try and do better with posting more regularly......

In the mean time here are some pictures of Ada from this morning.

I'm gonna bite my pillow.

We have noticed in the last few days that Ada has been enjoying biting things. Sometimes she does it when she is happy, sometimes when she is frustrated, and sometimes, we think, just because she can. We're watching here closely, though, because we don't want her to start biting people. This morning she got frustrated that I wouldn't let her type on the computer so she bit the couch pillow!

Studying for Ordination.

One afternoon I went to get Ada up from her nap and found that she had pulled down one of Alex's notebooks into the bed with her. Upon closer inspection I discovered that it was one of his study guides for his ordination exams. I guess Ada wanted to beef up on her Church History!

Swim Lessons.

Ada and I have been going to the local community pool every morning for swim lessons. She loves the water and is a definitely the champion swimmer in her class!
