gluten-free baking

I haven't felt well lately. It might have something to do with
stupid gluten-eating decisions... that tasted delicious :)
So baking was on my laundry-list of things to do today.
Aaron got a Kitchen Aid mixer for Christmas so my work
was made much easier. I've had a gluten-free bread mix for
a while and not wanted to take the time to make it.
Not feeling well finally kicked me in the pants to do it.
If you know me at all, you know I'm not a domestic darling.
I got some very cute measuring spoons for Christmas.
Cute domestication makes me feel better about of my
inadequacies. Here's further proof that I actually use my kitchen :)
Being domestic while NOT eating gluten.
All in this day's work. Ask me again tomorrow, ha.

we're not exciting

Have I mentioned how proud I am of my handsome husband?
Aaron started work on Monday. He likes it and they like him.
It's been fun to see him enjoying work again. Praise God!
His position was SUCH an answer to lots of people's prayers.
So with both of us working now and both getting up at 6:15am
we've been BORING... and I mean boring. Like going
to bed at 9:30pm. Yes, even on Friday night. Ok, that
might be a stretch but I'm sure I was asleep last night
by 10:07pm on a FRIDAY. We're not exciting!
Sorry, no awesome things to share... other than
Aaron starting work and that is very exciting!

7:00 am - Darcy awake with coffee and Grey's
8:30 am - Aaron awake for coffee and hating Grey's
9:30 am - the cleaning begins!

Our day isn't over yet! There's showering, getting ready,

Hope you have a great Saturday!

Murray Christmas

We went to Des Moines to celebrate Christmas with Aaron's
family and spend New Years with some friends too.
Ava's rocking some new barrettes from us (pictured with Aaron)
Happy 2011! Yes, I'm wearing a faux-Snuggie to ring in the New Year.
2 sets of Murrays and the DiDonatos for New Years!
Our New Years Day Christmas celebration.
We were all there but somehow there are only pictures of Ava.
Oh, I know why... because she's adorable!
She got her very own purse with keys, powder and money.
Enjoying her gift
Hope you enjoyed your peek at Murray Christmas!
