Some of This, Some of That

It’s time for a short catch-all post, y’all. 

First, this pumpkin chocolate chip bread.  Ummmm-hum!  It’s an easy recipe and can probably be made using what you already have on hand—although you may need to snag some canned pumpkin from the store (possibly still on sale from Thanksgiving?).  Make two pans, while you’re at it, and don’t be surprised if you have to bake it slightly longer than the directions call for. 

And now, an entourage of Liam.

Playing in the leaves with Dad…

Daddy’s hands…is anyone familiar with that song?!

His first solids.  Oatmeal—oh boy! 

My favorite—Liam’s first introduction to a Christmas tree and all the wonder that the season brings.  By the way, this was taken at the Broadmoor Hotel, where we admired the gingerbread village (although it was slightly disappointing compared to previous years) and dazzling holiday décor.
