Kayla girl

She is growing up so fast! My baby is turning into an adorable little girl. Some days I wish I could stop time and keep my babies little forever.

gluten free crepes

2 eggs

2 T water

1 tsp vanilla

1 T sugar

1/4 cup rice flour

1/4 cup tapioca flour

Beat eggs, water, vanilla, and sugar. Mix in the rice and tapioca flour, stir until lumps are gone. Heat frying pan over medium/low heat and melt a tsp butter in bottom of pan. Take about 1/4 cup of mix and pour into hot pan. While holding pan by the handle tilt pan in a circular motion until the bottom of the pan is evenly coated. Let cook about 2 minutes or until lightly brown, then flip crepe over and cook for another minute on other side. Makes about 4 crepes.

I had my camera in the kitchen this week, thus the new recipes being posted. Recipes are rather boring without a picture.

During the entire visit with my family I did not take any pictures with my camera so these pictures are from Mark and Dad. What a wonderful time we had together, we miss you all!!

Finally some snow!

The snow suit that Lana is wearing was mine when I was a little girl. Notice the stylish 80's belt.

He was a very yummy snow man

Gingerbread houses

Christmas pictures, the good, the bad, and the sad

Lana's birthday

My friend Heidi was there as well, but she spent the evening behind the camera. Thank you, Heidi, for taking all these great pictures!

Thanksgiving

My first gluten free pumpkin pie was a success!

We had wonderful fellowship with friends!

Eye shadow

In the nursery at church on Sunday Kayla decided to give herself eye shadow with markers. I was shocked when I saw her face and even more surprised when I found that she had put the maker only on her eyelids. Notice the blue color for one eye and the purple for the other.

Here she is today with the color almost gone.

Let's play in the leaves!

Questions

What happens when I poke my sister?

How loudly can I scream?

What does poop really taste like?

These are the kind of real life questions not simply asked, but acted upon daily in the Gilchrist home. Along with each of these questions there follows an exuberant 'lets try it and find out'.

What is a toilet plunger for?

How far can I throw my lunch across the table?

What happens when I take my diaper off during nap time?

How hard can it be to eat rocks?

I wonder what Mommy will say when I empty half of the bath water onto the bathroom floor?

The fish still look hungry, should I just dump in half the can?

What will it feel like to smash mud or dirt into my hair... how about my sister's?

Can boogers stick to the wall?

We are a family who asks the hard questions and are not afraid of the answer. We love to try new things and figure out even the most dizzying concepts. I hope that in your family you also can enjoy the rush that comes from learning.
