Homemade Sourdough Bagels

We spent our afternoon mixing up a batch of these beautful prizeworthy bagles! I highly recommend everyone should try them at least once....But before you embark on this rewarding endeavor you may first want to consider this.....

Spring!

We have all been enjoying a beautiful Spring!

It is very uplifting after months of rain and snow!

Everyone has been spending a lot of time outdoors.

Sam turns 1!

just relaxin' with Daddy...

looking a bit wistful...

We are all amazed at how much Samuel has grown this last year! It seems like just last week he was born. He is now walking around the house, getting into lots of trouble, and making us all smile and his cute, funny ways. On March 15th, for Samuel's birthday, we had our grandparents and cousins over for dinner. These pictures are not all from that evening... I just couldn't resist to put a few other recent pics. of him in!
