It was my mom's 64th Birthday on Saturday. We enjoy having our parents to our home for a meal in their honor. We were able to have my parents on mom's birthday this weekend!Having family for meals provides me with a great opportunity to try out some new recipes - this weekend was no exception.
We enjoyed Cheesy Sausage and Tomato Manicotti with a salad, Cheddar Bay Biscuits (just like R*d L*bster) and a slice of heaven - Double Chocolate Cheesecake! YUM. You can click here, to see all the recipes!
It was this good!
It is getting cooler here, Fall is on its way. Colin has been fighting a cold on and off for the past week. He also has some teeth coming through on top, so it could be that too. But he still smiles!
Fall has come to my blog too! I was enjoying all the other Autumn changes I was seeing, so I made some changes today! I want to say thanks to Annie for changing my siggy to match the new look! She's such a sweetie!

Hi Leigh Ann... I like the new look..it's pretty. I love the colours of fall but it's bittersweet for me...I hate to see summer end! Thanks for dropping by... Yes the kids are in school again. Our Christian school has had a loooong journey and many growing pains over the last 15 or so years....We moved into our brand new building this fall and it's just wonderful! We all love it! But even with the new building and the new teacher Janelle is still having a really difficult time. We're in the midst of setting things up for her to have some educational testing done. I have never really liked the idea of this kind of testing but am now in the position where I have to analyze the pros and cons. I don't think she has any problem in doing the work....hmmm how do I put this...she's able...but can't seem to concentrate for more than a minute or two and then is distracted by any noise that she hears....so then gets nothing done...so...anyway..we'll see this week about the testing and hopefully will be able to come up with some strategies to enable her to get her work done!
How is school going for you? I like the sound of the co-op! I would have LOVED something like that when my kids were little like yours and I was homeschooling them..we did one day craft fairs, etc but never anything longer than one day. We really enjoyed them too. I had to do a craft for the kids too...if I remember right we made lavender bath bombs one time..mmm they smelled so nice and were really simple and fun to make...whew..veered off on a tangent there...anyway..I hope things are going well for you...it's such a fun time when the kids are small. I loved it..Well take care! Heather

Happy Birthday to your mom! You two look very much alike!
I love your new fall look! Fall is definitely in the air here in Mississippi! It's gotten too cool to swim (comfortably). I just love this time of year! The air smells so crisp and I'm in the mood to try new recipes.....especially soups and such!
Your cheesecake looks delicious!!!

Oh my goodness Leigh Ann, that chocolate cheesecake looks so good! I considered licking the laptop screen but quickly came to my senses!
Happy birthday to your mom!
OOOOO! That looks really yummy!! What an excellent meal. Looks like a gormet meal to me! Happy birthday to your mom!!
I have a question. Why do people put stars in the name of a brand - like R*d L*obster. I noticed a bunch of people do this, but I don't understand why.
Love the new look. How do you get new background looks???
I love Spring and Fall. Looking for the place that has one month of winter and one of summer with the rest being fall. I'd be a very happy camper.
We have a gorgeous breeze coming through the window as we speak! Love it!!!
Happy Birthday to your Mom!!! Your meal looks so yummy:)...and I just love your new header--so *Fall* :o)
