One of the main things Jessica and I wanted to figure out how to do, while she was here, was to find a way to make our "blogs" into books. There are a number of websites to do this and we thought we had found the one! Our goal was to get our 2008 blogs all ready to go.
We loaded the software on our computers, side-by-side so we could both learn at the same time.
Well .... about 4 hours later we were still on the first couple of entries. You almost have to reformat every page! We decided this was not for us and gave up! On to Plan B, I guess!
Hangin' Around the House
We had a great time just basically hanging out! Jessica got Nate a Rubik's Cube for Christmas and he was obsessed with learning how to do it and showing ANYBODY that would listen. He's showing Kelsey how to do it here, but he really got Jacob hooked.
What has our family become --- a bunch of computer geeks? Jess doing homework, Nate checking on work, Kraig finishing a church lesson. Pretty amazing!
Some Sista & Bro time!
Jessica got Jacob some 'finger-clackers" as if he needed anything else to make noise with!

Tryin' Out The New Panini Grill
The Greek Feast
Because Jessica is vegetarian, I thought it would be fun to try out some meat-less Greek recipes that my friend Libby cooked for us at her house one night. We made Falafel, Tzatziki Sauce (a tangy Greek yogurt/dill sauce) and fresh veggies stuffed into home-made Pita Bread. They were fun to make and GREAT to eat!!
Seems like all we did was eat -- but we really did other things too!!
Catching Kelsey at Work
Rice Krispy Treat Pizza
I took Jessica with me to a Girl's Camp meeting that I had to go to on Friday night and we made this fun Rice Krispy Treat Pizza! It had a marshmallow treat crust, strawberry jam (sauce), white frosting (cheese) fruit roll-up (pepperoni) and little green sprinkles (onions). The girls loved it -- though it was REALLY sweet!
The masterpiece!!

Your pitas look awesome! You make me proud. :)
I want to publish my blog too, what program were you trying to use?
I love greek food, yum! I'm impressed you made pitas, going to have to try that.
Camilla - we tried "Blurb"! You can make the cutest books, little square ones, big ones, great custom covers and cute stuff. But like I said ... pretty time intense! I barely have time to blog, let alone, RE-DO stuff. We're on the look-out ... we'll let you know!
That was such a fun weekend! We did a lot in a short amount of time. I am drooling wishing I had some pita bread and falafels to munch on - drizzled in the yogurt sauce of course! Great post, love all the pics...I think I am just going to copy and paste your whole post onto my blog. :)
