Comfort food




Today was just one of those days when everything is frustrating -- nothing terribly dramatic -- just lots of little frustrations that add up. Evan's car is not working, Ella wouldn't nap this afternoon, and I am STILL pregnant. So, in typical Sewall fashion, we decided to drown our sorrows in calories. We went to Cracker Barrel for some comfort food! Chicken and Dumplins', a Bacon Cheeseburger, a few biscuits, and a couple of desserts later, we were full and happy.


Ella has not quite figured out crayons, yet. She just likes to eat them. So, we spent much of dinner tonight keeping her content long enough for us to eat. Sunglasses, a straw, a mini flashlight, a few songs with hand motions -- all vital in keeping a 14 month old happy when out past her bedtime.

Thanks for sharing. What a beautiful granddaughter. Comfort foods always work for us, too. Dad and Winnie.

Man, this is not as easy at the library (day #16 without the DSL) but we wanted to say--and all will agree--that we have the most charming granddaughter in the world! We love you all, and we're going to love checking your blog.
