More Austin Pics

Austin is getting a suntan today! He is under a jaundice light, but they think he will be off of it tonight. He weighed 7 lbs 5 ounces and is 19.5 inches. He wasn't so happy today b/c the light is keeping him awake and he is SO TIRED! He smiled for the first time and it was so cute!

Austin is here!!

Austin was born this morning at about 4:30 am. Mama and baby are doing fine. He is so cute!! Here are some pics:

Marinade

I have to post this yummy marinade. It is the best marinade I've ever had!! That is saying a lot! We have had buffalo in it and tonight I made ostrich steaks in it. It would be good with beef, chicken- I think I could eat it by itself! Ok here it is:

Juice and zest from 2 limes
2 tsp cumin
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt (I used sea salt)
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Leave comments and let me know what you think if you try it!!

Tummy Time

Here is Kristen doing her 'tummy time' on a blanket that my Grandmother made her. She is so funny! I kept trying to get her to smile at me, but the Disney princesses were more fun than smiling at Mommy!! My sister says these are 'reality' pictures- drool and all!!!
