A Wonderful Visit
My Aunt Marian visited last week from South Dakota. We get to see her so rarely, but it is a real treat when we do! Remi and I were lucky enough to see her two nights in a row (Keith was even able to join us one of those nights)

Veggie Toddler
I can tell that many people have their reserved criticisms (at least to my face) about Remi's quasi-vegetarian diet, just as people ridicule us for not letting him consume sugar. For now, what's the harm in holding off? He'll be able to make his own food decisions before you know it, and then it will be all over for us! Besides, how many toddlers do you know that willingly enjoy pureed lentils, tvp, whole grains and a selection of at least 20 different fruits and veggies? The fact is he's growing like a champ, and our pediatrician is completely on board with our decision. So there!
Selection of his favorite homemade purees:
sweet potato
green beans
peas
corn
carrots
spinach
cauliflower
broccoli
potato
tomato
zucchini
yellow squash
blueberries
apples
pears
kiwi
strawberries
banana
peaches
apricots

Terrier Cake
Remi had this great little puppy cake for his Houston birthday party:
The cake was made from a red velvet mix. The furnishings and collar were sprinkles. I definelty need to level the pieces next time, but I was in a huge hurry to get it done. We got the idea from the following website:Honeycomb Cottage: Scottish Terrier Cake It was so cute! Keith thinks I have made a dangerous precedent!
He doesn't like cake!

Why I'm proud
Keith has become such a strong moral compass in my life.
Yesterday, after spending $100 at Lowe's, we loaded up the car. Keith stopped and asked to look at the receipt. He thought we might not have paid for two pricey halogen light bulbs. Sure enough, the cashier had forgotten to scan them. Barely pausing to think about it, Keith marched back in and paid for the bulbs. How easy it would have been to continue on our way and consider it a mistake in our favor. I know Keith doesn't believe in karma, but 15 minutes later we stopped at the gas station for some fountain drinks and the cashier gave them to Keith for free. It seemed like a nice little perk for being honest.
I am brimming over with pride that Remi has such a wonderful example of what a man should be.
