Just Like Great Grandpa


Today would have been my great grandpa's birthday. 
In remembrance of the great man and farmer that he was, we dressed little Joshua like him today. 
Although I don't remember it (I was too young at that point) his normal farm garb was blue and white striped overalls. I do remember however, the cowboy boots he always wore, and the hat that was never far from him. 

He would be proud to see Joshua dressed like him, and growing up on a farm (of sorts).

    What a beautiful picture for Grandpa Ledgerwood's birthday! Did you make the overalls or find them somewhere? They look like they are designed to grow with him.
    I enjoyed time with a one month old yesterday. First girl after four brothers. Couldn't help thinking of and missing Joshua and you all.

    The overalls are ones we have had since Paul was a baby, but they just seemed perfect for this.

Menu Monday: Trim healthy Waffles - E

You may have noticed that I didn't post a Menu Monday last week...the week before was super busy, and I forgot to take a picture of anything to share with you.  I sincerely hope that you forgive me. Well, okay, I unsincerly hope that you forgive me.  I really truly do hope that you didn't mind too much though.  I'll stop while I'm ahead. The recipe for this week is designed to only serve two people. Or one person twice. Normally I post recipes magnified greatly, because that's how much food that I actually make. For those who don't know me, I have 8 siblings. 3 of them are boys between the ages of 11 and 15. They eat. A lot. This recipe is different because it's a thm recipe, and only two of  us are are doing thm..The last Menu Monday post had adaptations included to make it a thm S meal.  If you are wondering what in the world thm is, it stands for Trim Healthy Mama . Look it up. I've included a link. Maybe someday I'll do a whole p

October. It's infant loss awareness month. And today, October 15th specifically, is infant loss awareness day. It's a good day, because for so many, the loss of a baby is a silent pain, one that isn't talked about. In having a day like this, however sad it is, we can maybe allow others into our circle of grief, and at the same time, comfort them in theirs.  For us, October is a month that we should have a birthday, but we don't.  You see, we should be celebrating a first birthday this October.  But we're not.  And furthermore, if we were celebrating that first birthday, we wouldn't have our Mercy girl. Mercy Grace, we joke, since her middle name, Anna, means Grace.  It's strange, this loss. We can't imagine life without her, but in order to have the lives we grieve, we couldn't have her. It's one or the other.  If we had Baby J, who would be one this month, we couldn't have Mercy. And likewise, if we had had Baby A, who would've

It's  finally  starting to feel like fall in our neck of the woods, and hot, yummy foods like these are the best when temperatures drop below 80 degrees. Yes, that's what I mean by it feeling like Fall. No more 100+ degree weather. We hope. For all you THMs ( Trim Healthy Mamas ) out there: You will be happy to know that this meal is thm "S" approved, when using the alternative ingredients, listed in italics.     You're welcome. Meatballs: Ingredients: 5 pounds of hamburger 5 eggs 2 cups of breadcrumbs or 1 cup rolled oats, (ground/chopped), and 1 cup almond flour 1/2 cup dried, minced onion 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce or 2 tablespoons vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon each of chili powder, garlic powder, and cloves 1 tablespoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper Mix all together well, and form into ball of desired size (mine are 1 1/2-2 inches).
