Zucchini and Family

The last ten days we've seen a lot of family - SO nice.  Last weekend was Brooklyn's birthday party and Emmett's baptism and we had Jason's parents, Mary and Dave here, too, along with Jason's aunt and uncle Dar and Rog plus Jen's whole family of course!  Wednesday my Dad came over for dinner on his way back from IL, Thursday my aunt Kathy stopped in to see the kiddies bearing little Valentine's gifts, Friday my cousin Mike stopped in to say Hi and played hard with Graham and had a little lunch and then Saturday my Mom, two aunts, Connie and Julie, and cousin Emilie came to take in a play and dinner out!  WOW.  What a gift and a treat to see so much family in a short span of time.  Awesome.

These sunshine-less days get to me a bit...however, I've been trying to take a bunch of minutes to commune with God and pray and just be quiet, etc. daily.  God Calling recommended by my Mom and Jesus Calling recommended by my friend Beth - both UNbelievably fantastically calming, inspiring and they spur me out of any doldrums - along with that solitary, quiet time.  Thank God.

And on to Zucchini.  Another sultry pasta dish de Jason.  Woo.  Just so good.  He sautees coined zucchini and canned fire roasted tomatoes (these had some heat with chipotles!) and we had some feta in the fridge and it worked!  Yummmmmm.
