Sad News

Last night my Grandma passed away. She was such a beautiful, strong person and the rock of my family.

Words cannot express how much I will miss her.

I love you Grandma.

Anniversary Dinner

We had such a nice wedding anniversary yesterday.  Instead of going out to eat I thought it would be fun if Jeff & I made a meal together, and of course what could be more romantic than rolling out pasta dough. :)
My mom had sent me two different things to help me with my ravioli making and we took them for a test drive.  The first is a really old ravioli press that crimped out nice large pieces.

The second is a multi-ravioli maker / press.

 It didn't come with instructions so we had fun playing around with it trying to figure out the best method to press it out (I liked the "let Jeff do it" method the best). 

I have to say my ravioli looked pretty professional and all nice and neat, plus less messy than before....Thanks mom !!
Making dinner together for our anniversary was really fun, I think this may become a delicious tradition.

To many happy cooking memories to come....

Cheers!

Courage

Do one brave thing today ... then run like hell

Baby Elaine finally decided to be born Feb 25th much to my sister's relief.  Here are a couple of pictures of her. Such a cutie!

 

Happy Aunt Patricia  

She was very quiet and content with her Uncle Jeff

  Proud Grandma!

Her brothers were just so fascinated with her ;)

Merry Christmas!!!

On Christmas Eve we went over to my sister's house for dinner.  Emma received her big present from us over there too - her first big girl bike!  She was a bit wobbly and had a hard time peddling but she felt like a big kid and was really excited about it - especially with my nephews riding around on their bikes with her.  Jeff and I took turns holding onto her and helping her turn the bike, we didn't want her first experience to include a fall :)

Happy Holidays from all the Taylors - even the feathered ones!
