I got the hankering for ice cream the other day and found a recipe for cake batter ice cream that allegedly tastes like Coldstone.  I gathered my ingredients and popped it into the ice cream maker.  A bit later, I spooned some slightly mushy ice cream into my mouth and, By George, it tasted exactly the same!  The husband said it was way too sweet and rich for his taste (yipee - more for me).  I am next going to make strawberry sorbet as strawberries were on sale at Walmart.  

There have been numerous requests for "Baby Bump" pictures.  I had a hard time taking them on my own, so I enlisted the husband.  Here you go - me in my favorite pants (Steve and Barry's nine bucks!) and with my favorite belly.  The babe is in there kicking around right now - apparently, he wants some breakfast.  I have gained about 10 pounds, so I am up to my weight before I started working out last year.  I am fine with it and have continued walking each day about 3 miles or so.  If I didn't have the beasts, I don't know if I would still walk!
