Chocolate Covered Strawberries and a Baby Boy!































As a fun Mother's Day treat, we decided to make our own chocolate covered strawberries! Originally I thought it might be rather difficult and time-consuming, but it ended up only taking about 2 hours from start to finish and was fun for us to do. We used almond bark, heavy whipping cream, and a little butter for the dipping chocolate. For the decoration, we used Betty Crocker brownie toppers--cream cheese and dark chocolate. If you warm them up in the microwave, put them in a sealed sandwich bag, and cut a tiny triangle off of the corner, it's perfect for decorating.
In other news, we had our 20 week ultrasound last Friday and found out we are having a boy! We're thinking about names, so if you have any ideas you'd like to share, we're open to them. I am so excited to have a little baby boy in our lives--it will be a grand adventure!

  2. I don't have a sincere name at the moment but I was laughing at the order in which you posted the 2 items of information in this post.

    Just a few thoughts re: names for the little one. Look em over and tell me what you think. I would hope that you would look over family names from the different sides of the family. I've included some (among some other random names).

    I love you guys, and am very excited to get acquainted with your baby.

    Dad (AKA grandpa)
