A Bundle of Myrrh

>Baking.

I just needed a sweet moist cinnamon roll! Being pregnant brings on a whole new list of necessities! Of course around here if you want something you’re gonna have to make it yourself. So that’s what I did, or kind of did.

I Got my flour mixed up.

Got my cinnamon brown sugar filling ready.

Then made these things. They were a bit more “moist” than I’d expected. Makala came over during the roll and cut phase of this process. She got a good laugh watching me try to stop the oozing dough slug from going all over the counter while I cut it into what were supposed to be nice round swirls of goodness.

Here’s how they looked after baking. I have to say, after the disaster I thought I’d made, I was pretty proud of them. They weren’t quite cinnamon “rolls” as much as cinnamon “triangles”, but they tasted like the real deal and fixed my newest craving. Don’t ask about the icing…

Sunny and Windy

71°F
Feels Like
71°F

Who’d have thought this would ever be? It’s hot enough to almost break a sweat outside. Now if we could just do something about these 45mph winds….

>Sewing.

Well, I’m back in the sewing saddle. This weekend we were invited to a baby shower and I needed a gift. Since we’re lacking in baby boutiques in Bancroft I knew I’d have to get creative. I had just the right materials (bought in a former life) for what became a wonderful creation I was very proud of. I did have a hard time parting with this little dress, but was happy to have such a sweet baby girl to give it to. Our friends Pastor Kevin Cook and his wife Kristi had their baby Leah Marie a month ago. They don’t live very far from us, so I’m hoping Leah and Lily will be good pals someday.
Tah-dah!

>Pastors’ Conference.

Last weekend we attended the Nebraska District Pastors’ Conference in Norfolk. It was 2 days of intense listening while trying to stay awake. I only lasted 1 day but it was worth it. I missed out on the “seminary experience” most Pastors’ wives have so I figured this would be as close as I could get. Highlights included the delicious food, staying at the Holiday Inn and seeing Randall and Christi Smith our friends from Hampton NE.
I took really bad pictures of our fun, forgive me.

Here’s Phil with Pastor Scheppman who is in our circuit of churches up this way.
Phil stuffing his face. Again, the food was pretty good. Randall is in the background taking his time with his meal.
The evening’s entertainment, the local Lutheran High School choir sang for us while we ate.
