Well, as an update, my biscuits turned out pretty well. They didn't raise as much as I'd hoped (could be old flour or baking powder), but they weren't hockey pucks either. They were moist (as moist as biscuits should be anyway) and yummy, and I'll definitely try them again. On tomorrow's menu is an easy beer bread (provided Martin didn't drink it all) with an italian twist, along with spaghetti and (homemade) meatballs.
On another note, I've wanted forever to add Photoshop Elements 6 to my laptop (it's on the computer downstairs, I just haven't been using that one much), and organize/consolidate/delete pictures from the past year. I think I have more pictures from the last year than from the past 5 years combined. I have the munchkin to thank for that :)
So I was reading MckMama's blog, who always has amazing pictures and happened to find a link to some photography lessons she also posted (I really don't know how she finds time for it all) and was inspired to quit procrastinating (now that I only have a couple weeks until school starts again and I lose my free time) and get started on that. Some of my efforts have been ok, some not so much... I'm adding one of the pictures I like onto this post just to show off my munchkin. I could just nibble him to pieces.

This one is an old picture, he was probably about 6 months old here:
I don't really have much else to write on this stormy night. I guess I've been doing a lot of reflecting over the past couple weeks about my life, my faith, and the road I'm on, but I'm not sure I can put any of it into coherent thoughts that would be of value to anyone else at this point.
I will add this though, to end on a positive note. Kaleb (my little munchkin) has been working on his walking lately. The day before his first birthday he stood up without any assistance or anything to hold onto, then later that night took his first steps. He kind of backed off for a couple weeks and went back to mostly crawling/bear walking. The past day or two, however, he's started standing up in the middle of the room, making sure I'm watching, then taking 5 or 6 or 20(!) steps, then sitting down, looking at me all proud and grinning like "look what I did mama".
I love him more every day :)
This one I didn't really do much with, except for cropping it and erasing some unknown goo...
