Friends and Food

With more living space we have enjoyed having friends over to eat and play games.  This past weekend I made two desserts that are delicious!  I definitely recommend them both!  

The first was the Strawberry Pretzel Square recipe from Kraft foods.  Noah doesn't like berries, and this time of year that is about all I want to eat!  When friends come over, I use it as a reason to make something using any sort of berry.  The salty pretzels mixed with the sweetness makes it a perfect dessert for this warm weather! 



The next recipe I made especially for my sister-in-law.  She enjoyed it the first time I made it, so with her in town, I knew I needed to make it again!  The Chocolate Mountain Bundt Cake is what you make when only something chocolate is considered a real dessert.  I change this recipe in two ways.  First, I only use a 1/2 cup of oil, and I replace the other have with 4 ounces of apple sauce.  This is a super easy way of cutting out some major calories.  Then, I warm up about 5 Tablespoons of chocolate frosting and drizzle it on top of the cake.

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
