Sean and I made this one about a month ago. It was the first recipe I ever tried to can. The kids love it, and from what I hear Tracy does as well. We picked the peaches ourself at a local orchard, and we planted the pits from the peaches this past October. Hopefully we'll see some trees sprout up next spring.

I'm working on putting together a family cookbook of all our recipes, and doing the individual recipes scrapbook-style. When it's all done - which probably won't be for another year, as each recipe needs to be cooked, photographed, and a page created - I'm going to publish a small run through Blurb.com as Christmas gifts next year. Here's the first of the recipes I've made a page for - Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, otherwise known as "Pat-Flat Cookies".

We had originally planned to go to the playground this past Sunday. But it threatened to rain all day, so we stayed in instead. Lori and I have been talking about getting Sean involved in more activities around the house now that he is getting bigger, so today I decided that he and I would make cupcakes together. Resounding success! Sean poured the water and oil into the bowl, helped me mix, and as you can see here, he helped with the cleanup.
