Diego and Snot Rod

One of our kids is mad for Diego,  another for a bit-part character from the Cars movie named, Snot Rod! Find out who's obsessed with who in today's vid.

Enjoy!

Settling and Swimming

The kids are heading out swimming this morning, but for some reason they aren't too keen to put it into full sentences. Ah well. Enjoy, anyway :)

Noah's Birthday Party Recap

We had a blast at Noah's birthday party, along with a dozen kids and even more adults!

Here's a bit of a recap for those loved ones who couldn't be with us...

Rhythms and the Near Horizon

We know a bunch of you pray for us. Thanks heaps.

Here's a bit of a picture of the rhythms of a typical week (work-wise, at least), and a few things we're looking forward to.

Enjoy.

Ciabatta

Perhaps I'll change my mind, but right now, the best thing about baking my own bread is ciabatta. Nothing beats it. Salty, oily, gorgeous crust. I just pulled some from the oven and I want to eat the whole thing right now.

One quick thing to inspire you in making ciabatta (in case you never have): it's extremely fun to do with one of your kids. I say one, and I mean it. The initial stage is so moist, it's great: sloppy, sticky, gross. It's the kind of cooking you want to share.

Ciabatta. Perhaps I'll change my mind. Perhaps.
