Texas Caviar

I got the recipe from a co-worker. It is absolutely fabulous. And what makes it even more fabulous....I GOT CHARLIE TO EAT IT! Yes!! Here is a picture of the finished product:

 And just to prove that Charlie actually ate it (and did not spit it out), here is proof. The reason I am so excited is because I cannot get Charlie to even try corn or beans. But, in this "dip" he will eat it all. Including the onions and avocado. Yeah! I probably shouldn't get so excited, tomorrow he probably won't touch it.
Here is the recipe. Enjoy!

1 can black beans drained
1 can mexican corn drained
1 pkg. Italian Dry dressing
1 small red onion chopped
3-5 gr.onions chopped
2 avocados
1/2 C. Olive Oil
1/4 C. White Vinegar

We use crackers or chips to dip with. Adam says it is so good that he can eat it plain!

The loneliest generation.

-
I read something in a magazine awhile back that while we are the most interconnected generation, we are also the loneliest generation. How true. While I think about that, I walk around the neighborhood and I think of society and how we have changed. Even during the summer months, we struggle to find even one other family at the park with kids, however, the dog park is always packed (side note). I observe kids in various capacities having melt downs about not getting to play the iPad or tablet or melting down when it is taken away. And, granted, tantrums are not new, in 1981 when my mom raised me she didn't have to deal with tantrums about electronics. I also read comments made that my kids view "going outside to play" as a punishment. We walk into swim lessons and every person is on their phone or tablets....even the kids. How will my son learn to interact with other kids when they are on a device? Where has communication face to face gone?  I am not saying I am not guilt...

The Grande Finale

On April 18th, I began feeling contractions that were a bit stronger than previous. Not really strong enough to go in for, however. After eating dinner and putting the kids to bed, I laid down on the couch to relax. At 9pm my water broke after feeling a slight "pop" in my belly. I wasn't 100 percent certain that this was my water, but I was positive for GBS so I knew I needed to get it checked out. I drove myself to Meriter (yes, this is me...) as I wasn't really having strong contractions yet. In fact, I counted just 3 light ones on the drive down. They checked me in triage and of course my water had broken and they hooked me up for the IV antibiotic that I needed. Adam arrived at about midnight or so, Barb and Cliff generously came in to sleep at our house so they could take the kids to West Bend the following day. By the time Adam arrived, I was having contractions every 2-3 minutes and they were strong and getting stronger. I labored in the tub, tried walking a bi...
