My mom has this amazing chili recipe which she emailed me probably a year or two ago. Being a new wife at the time I didn't have much cooking experience and thought I would wait to attempt the chili until a later date. Well about two years later and many many home-cooked dishes later I felt like I could take on the task! It included soaking the dried beans over night, then precooking them before starting the actual chili. It went so well! And it turned out A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I made this huge pot of it and asked my mom how to can it. Well...no more than 48 hours later we had eaten just about all of it.
Sprinkle a little Queso Fresco on top and WA-LA! It was delightful.
Mercedes is just silly! She'll be 10 months on the 19th. I'm starting to feel like I'm having to work harder to keep the house clean. I wonder why?
Mommy and baby!
Mercedes LOVES water. I'm so happy about that because I love it too. We can never drink to much water. :)
She's finally getting a little hair! With a bit of H2O and some hair spray it starts to show up even more. We think it'll be curly.
This is her little toy area next to the Christmas tree. She'll entertain herself here for a little bit while I clean the kitchen or sit at the computer.
I couldn't get over how cute this was. Like she's reading the book to her toys.
Snow flake!
I finally started painting again. I hadn't done much since Mercedes was born. I honestly feel like I'm forgetting a part of myself when I go for a long time without. Art, I will always paint and draw. I promise.
Here's is our makeshift baby-proof Christmas tree. One of Mercedes' favorite places to be in the apartment.
We even put tape over the bowl because Mercedes discovered how fun it was to splash the tree water all over the place.
I really miss Utah snow at Christmas time, but Roseville is its own beautiful winter wonderland.
I can't even express how much I love the morning fog around our apartment.
It's like a dream.

You guys live in a beautiful spot - I miss Roseville when I see photos like that! Mercedes is so cute - I can't wait to see her again - maybe around birthday #1
Hahaha! My parents did the same thing with their tree to keep Brady away from it. (Although he's super tall and reaches it anyway.)
And I think the chances of Mercedes having curly hair are quite high! :)
