I have developed a skill.

It's sort of a weird skill, but being at the age where I throw quirky parties and baby showers... I think it's a good skill to have.

I make cute food.

I've been thinking about this Halloween party a lot and I realized that I've done this enough times now, I feel like I can consider it a skill set.

Dog food cake for Tolpel and Jazz's birthday party

Baby Owls for Amy's Owl themed baby shower

Baby Sheepies for Anne's "UNC Ram/baby lamb" theme Baby Shower

Noah's Ark punch for Bess' Baby shower

Settlers of Catan cakes I made for Jacob's 25th Birthday

2 Halloweens ago - there are Oreo spiders, Witches' hats, Breadstick fingers and mummies in a blanket:

And of course, last Halloween:

Yay Internetz! Without you, I wouldn't have known such things existed!

Bragging on Hubby!

I don't know if anyone here follows Dr. David Allen Black's blog, (who is one of Jacob's former professors from Southeastern Baptist Seminary, where Jake just received his Masters of Divinity) but Jacob got bragging rights today by winning a contest. (See June 7th, 2011 at 4:18pm) He also got one of Dr. Black's books and a shout out for his own blog, including a recent piece he did about religious education entitled "Has Christian Education Failed Us?"

Husband, you have grown so much as a teacher, a preacher, and a blogger in the last few years, and I am *so* proud of you. :)
