My realization was that I cannot re-create Karen's very delicious lasagna, even with the recipe in hand.... it looks much better than it tasted, see?
I also realized that I love Dave's family. I already knew that, but after what seemed like forever since seeing them it was just GREAT to see them and be with them! Plus, how cute are Al and Otis together!??! I think just adorable!
I realized that Milli is one of the cutest little things in this house and she could NOT stop talking about her cousins coming over! It was so fun to see them play together so nicely, it makes for a great evening together....
I realized that I am a mean mom for feeding Otis this not-so-delicious baby food. Have you ever tried the green beans or green peas!?!? YUCK! I tried it by accident and I hope it NEVER happens again! Poor Otis, but I will continue to feed it to him.
I realized that this VERY simple salad of a bunch of spinach, tomatoes, onions and strawberries with a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan and a drizzle of Raspberry Vinaigrette should always be part of my day, YUM!
I realized that $10 of tomatillos and jalapenos will bring a lot of joy to that someone who does not like the texture of ground beef (aka. Dave). That and some chips :)
I realized how happy a full basket of fresh fruit makes me. Its so colorful and yummy and healthy and pretty and best of all the kids love it as much as I do.
And best of all I realized that as much as I see this face I DO NOT get tired of it one bit! Every time I pulled out the camera to snap some pics of our little man he would pull this and blow in and out of his nose. I just love it!

Great post.
I love that last little face.
And look at that thigh muscle in Milli's legs in that picture?
I LOVE that salad pic, it looks so yummy, I need to try it.
I'm glad you had fun.
Awesome post Lau! The lasagna looks REALLY good...I love and miss youuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Glad you had a good time with the family. All the fresh food looks great!
I love that little man! I cannot feed Jack peas or green beans either. He loves sweet potatoes! And I have tried them, not too bad. I am so happy that you get along so great with Dave's family! I wish I could say the same about me with Bret's.
Really enjoyed reading this post, sooo cute, funny and full of love. Some baby food is pretty gross. The baby food I could not bring my self to feed my kiddos was bananas, it even smell horrible, so my kids got real bananas mashed up.
Oti is getting so big!
Mmm...mmm...mmm!! The food looks delicious. And, I am glad that you got to spend some time with the family. That is nice. And, your little monkeys are sooo cute.
Love this post! You're amazing!
I too noticed that muscle on Milli's leg! WOW!!!!
You lost me at the lasagne. It is my favourite food. You also lost me at that gorgeous salad. I have said it before that when I m rich or famous I will have my own personal salad chef. Will you accept the job ;) Love all the pictures and your realisations.
