When it rains...

On top of every trial I am currently facing and learning from; my heart was saddened further today when I discovered that my favorite magazine is closing. I am soooooo bummed

The Road to Domestic Goddessness

...Is paved with homemade bread

My dear friend Kaity is a bread making genius. She agreed to tutor me on my first endeavor.

Jocelyn loved it!

Especially the dough. She could not stop trying to eat it

Unfortunately I forgot about it during it's second rise and it got a little wonky

Sadly the big loaf didn't make it. :(

But the little ones were delicious

So... its a tiger instead of a horse but you get the idea.

Christmas in a Giant Nutshell (how did it get in a nutshell this big?) part 1

Wow, I am Exhausted

IT was a great Christmas and New Years that started in Colorado and ended in Vegas. So if you are wondering why you didn't get a Christmas card, its because I didn't send any.... It wasn't personal, I just ran out of time... but mostly out of energy.

So here is a recap of the last few weeks.

1. Beautiful family pictures were taking by the amazing Vivian and will soon be photo shop'd by the super cool Jenn. (Jocelyn however did not enjoy the shoot)

2. Christmas in Colorado with Grandma and Grandpa Hansen. Christmas morning brought many smiles, new pajamas, and unexpected gifts.

A new baby doll

Yes, Ben is holding our new Wii

This outfit was purely Jocelyn's doing. She insisted on the whole thing. It was quite hilarious.

3.Ben went on the job market in San Francisco and met with 16 potential teaching and researching jobs that all sound exciting. The interviews went really well. We are anxiously awaiting fly outs invitations and final offers, more details to come.
