National Night Out Block Pary

Tonight I attended my first Block Party. We were able to meet all the neighbors in our new neighborhood. There was also a visit from the Fire Department and Police Department. I took baked beans and Caramel Cream Brownie Trifle. I did make some changes in the recipe. I used the larger size of pudding mix and replaced the walnuts with Heath Bar bits. I also drizzled the extra caramel topping in the layers.

Family Reunion

Saturday was Family Reunion Day. The first part was with Shade's immediate family and the second part was with his extended family. Everyone had a good time.

I contributed to the feast with these "bars". They were very good! Here is the recipe.

Living Life!

I know that I have been missing for awhile. Our family has gone through many changes in the past few months. Right before the baby was born, we took a church in a neighboring city just to the south of where we were living. Delani arrived in April and we moved in June. Needless to say, I'm still living among boxes. I know it has been a month, but life keeps going on. We are truly enjoying Delani and our new church. God is so good and I thank him for all His blessings!
