Jordan and Chrissie and what will be the newest addition to our family. Not sure if it's a boy or girl yet, but just so the baby's healthy.

Today was a great day....had knee surgery last Thursday, and after several days of being on crutches and pain medication, I'm off the meds and crutches. Still taking it slow and making sure to keep my knee really straight when walking, but feels good.
After feeding Ken a steady diet of chicken and fish over the last few months, I finally broke down and made him a meatloaf today. Even put jalopeno's in there for him. Yum! I want to share my special recipe for sauce for the meatloaf, you will love it. Ole' family recipe! LOL

1/4 cup ketchup
2 T. brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Mix together and spread over meatloaf the last 1/2 hour of cooking. I usually double this recipe. It's nice to have extra for dipping.

Enjoy!

Eve, she's a little hard to get to sit still to get her picture taken.....she has DADD - that's Doggie Attention Deficit Disorder!

Buddy, he's a fourteen year old golden retriever, can't get around much these days, but he's a happy dog.
