Fynn's 15 Months (Already!?)

Didn't I just have my birthday party?  Hm, oh well I guess a lot has changed with me (Fynn) lately!

1.  I walk pretty great!  And sort of run, too!  It's my favorite thing to do!

2.  Summer was amazing!  So much to see and explore!

3. I love my family!  Immediate and extended!  I give pretty awesome bear hugs!

4.  I'm eating whatever Momma and Poppa are eating.  I've really developed a taste for soup, Lorenzo's salsa, wild cranberries and the ice cream that Amma and Appa gave me!

5.  I don't talk a lot, but I do love my sound effects!  I regularly say "Boom," "Crash," Rawr," "Vroom," and a variety of animal noises!

6. My favorite toys are trucks, trains and balls

7. I LOVE Sunday School!  It's my favorite part of the week!

8.  I don't like to sleep.  I might miss something.

Gotta go for now!  There's exploring to be done!  I'll be a year and a half soon enough and give you another update!

Bacon Cheese Moose-loaf

I just got sweet little Fynn out of a bath.  He just has so much fun splashing himself in the face and trying to catch his rubber duck, it makes it a joy to give.  That and the honey-scented soap Katka gave him!

So Josh didn't think he liked meatloaf until I made this recently, now he can't get enough! =)  I just love it when my experiments turn out!  Anyway, I thought I'd share this way to a man's heart:

Bacon Cheese Moose-loaf

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1-2 eggs
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup dried bread crumbs
• Herbs, salt and pepper to taste
• 3-4 slices of bacon, 2” sections
• 1-2 cups grated cheese
• 1/3 cup ketchup

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the moose, egg, onion, milk and bread crumbs. Season and place half in a lightly greased 5x9 inch loaf pan.  Layer cheese and bacon, then add the rest of the moose. 
3. In a separate small bowl, combine the mustard and ketchup. Mix well and pour over the meatloaf.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.

Granted, it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it is pretty simple and fills the stomach.  I don't like bacon, so I end up picking that out, but I love the moose!  Hope you enjoy!
