I do tend to grill all year round no matter what the weather, but this February grilling was a lot less chilly than normal! I didn’t even put a jacket on to grill these yesterday.
(in case you’re wondering, those are Well-Done Grilled Hamburgers from Cook’s Illustrated)

Our church rents from another church, and so that we both can have services on Sunday mornings, they have an early service and we have a late service.
Mr. FG and I always arrive early so that we can work on setting everything up for the music, but sometimes the other church is a little late getting out. Fortunately, there’s a nice little sound-proof room near the sanctuary, and that ends up being the pre-church hangout space for the six of us.

I let my kids doodle during the sermon on Sundays (I listen better when my hands are occupied, actually, so I don’t think doodling interferes with listening), and this is Zoe’s page.
My favorite parts are the title (DOODL PAGE) and the bit on the left that says, “Master Sonia Sword”. Perhaps you’d have to live her to understand why that’s funny, but mostly it’s because Sonia is so bossy, I’m not at all surprised that Zoe used the word “master” before her name.
I mean, it’s not funny that Sonia is bossy (we’re working on that)…it’s just funny that Zoe sort of inadvertently acknowledged that aspect of living with Sonia.

When one arrives in the mail, all of your children sit down to read it without you saying a single word about it.

Beautiful. Delicious.
Also, a preview of the recipe to come on Lisey’s baking blog this week.

You know how I did a thorough cabinet clean-out recently?
Well, I found this lurking in a dark corner.
Joshua’s the only one of my babies who ever really used a pacifier, and this is one of his. How it managed to get moved from the townhouse to this house is really beyond me, but I think it’s safe to say that we can get rid of it at this point.

I love the way the lighting looks when you put someone next to a window…lighter on one side, darker on the other.

Sometimes Joshua does a geek/nerd impression.
And apparently, now Zoe does too.
Key ingredients: pulled-up pants, tucked-in shirt, and lens-less 3d glasses.
Also, a nerdy expression.
