Hudson is Growing...

We took the first pic the night Jonathan left in February. The second pic was today. Look how much he's grown!

Hudson... 3 Months Old

Hudson's 3 months old now and doing all kinds of tricks. He loves to suck on his hands and fingers and even prefers them over his pacifier. Hopefully we can get rid of it all together in the next month of two. He sleeps anywhere from 4 to 7 hour stretches at night, which we're working to increase, and takes 3 to 4 naps during the day. He loves his brothers and is always entertained when they're in the room. He still LOVES to be on his belly, especially when he's sleeping. He smiles, talks and laughs constantly. He even joins in when his big brothers are carrying on in the car. Oh, joy for me :) He can hold his head up when he's laying on his belly and loves to sit in the bumbo seat for short periods of time. He has recently discovered the TV. Every time it's on he's drawn right to it. I've taken advantage a time or two when I needed a shower! Overall, he's such a joy and a very predictable baby :)

Come... Let Us Compare

Wanice needs to send me some younger pictures of Jonathan because we're beginning to think Hudson looks a lot like him :)

Resurrection Buns

This morning we made Resurrection Buns.

Some of you have been asking for the recipe/directions so I thought I would just put up a link.

There are many ways to do it but what we used were the following:

1 Roll Grand's Jr Bisquits

Large Marshmallows

Equal Parts Cinnamon and Sugar

Melted Butter

I rolled each bisquit out flat and told the boys that this was the tomb where they placed Jesus. Then I had the boys roll the marshmallows in butter and place one on each bisquit. Then they sprinkled each one with cinnamon sugar and I explained that in Jewish culture they prepared Jesus' body for burial with oil (butter) and spices (cinnamon sugar) and then wrapped it in white blankets, or linen cloth. Then they pinched each bisquit closed as if they were closing the tomb. Then we flipped them over and placed them on a cold baking stone and baked them on 350 for 8-10 minutes. When we took them out I cut a slit in the top and asked the boys what happened. They were very quick to exclaim, "Jesus is GONE!" And all that was left was the white blankets (melted marshmallows). They enjoyed eating them, as did I! They were very tasty :)
