Well...

I was trying to put a new background on here and nose at how it would look, and accidentally saved instead of hitting preview. Sooooooooooooo............ it's really messed up & I'm hoping I didnt lose all of my blog comments AGAIN. Please give me time to fix it {or try my best, anyway}. Thanks!

Nicholas Yancy Nischan Foundation

Nicholas Nischan - 1995-2008

Nicholas Yancy Nischan, born May 22, 1995, finished his race and received his reward on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2008, after a 61/2-year battle with cancer.

....

In honor of Nick and in lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorial donations to the Nicholas Yancy Nischan Foundation be sent to First Church of Christ, 287 Pomeroy St., Grayson, KY 41143. These funds will be divided between several ministries that are special to the Nischan family. In addition, a portion of these memorial donations will be used to establish a literacy outreach program.

You can also help if you shop online. The First Church of Christ in Grayson, which is where donations can be sent, was just added to GoodShop and GoodSearch. Go to GoodShop.com and follow the tutorial listed below (same concept applies if you go to GoodSearch).

Sharing Thanksgiving Recipes

For our family's Thanksgiving Dinner this year, I made two new recipes. I found both on Food Network's website and will share the links to pages with you (just click on the names).

First up, Parmesan Puff Pastry by Paula Deen. Everybody bragged on these a lot! I bought some Pillsbury flaky dough sheets, if you need an idea on what you can use. I really liked these and they were super easy to make!














The second thing I made was Oven Roasted Cauliflower which was shared by Emeril Lagasse. Let me just say that it came out looking NOTHING like the photo *ha, ha* And we were running late to get to my parents' house, so I forgot to add the garlic in at the end.. oops! It tasted kind of funky at first, but then I liked it after a few bites. Not everybody tried it (which I cant say I blame them... funky doesnt always scream delicous!), but those who did seemed to like it.

Corn.

The one food I can always rely on for my two year old to eat, when all else fails ;)

What is the food for the child(ren) in your life?

Christmas Dress

My husband bought our baby girl her very first Christmas dress the other day. Next up is buying our little boy his Christmas outfit. It's insane how expensive little itty bitty clothes are *ha, ha*

To help my own blog...

I created another blog to post links to interesting sites I have found. That way, I can keep the photography blog clean looking and true to the photography side of things :)

Here's the other gift my hubby bought me for my birthday! It's an MP3 player to match the one he bought for himself about a month ago... I hadnt ever seen one in person or knew how they worked so I was never interested in them, but I liked his and told him I was going to steal it because it matched my cell phone. Now I dont have to take his away from him ;) *ha, ha*
