As you might have guessed from my severe absence from this blog, we had the baby! Lila Katherine Kealey graced us with her presence on November 29 at 8:20 a.m. weighing in at 8 pound, 2 ounces and 20 inches long. The Kealey trio is doing just fine over here, albeit we don’t know what sleep is anymore, we’ve never done this much laundry in our lives and I now say things like “pee pee diaper” and “passy” (that’s pacifier for short) – I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I feel so blessed each and every day that I get to spend with her and David, plus, this parenting thing is fun! Tiring and overwhelming, but fun.

Of course, I’ve also gotten back to cooking as much as I can since I’m STARVING all the time now. I actually have cooked a lot and will start sharing with you all my findings over the past few months and of course, am back in the saddle moving forward. I’ve already started putting Lila in her chair and facing the kitchen so she can see me cooking and as I cook I explain to her what I’m doing and why. I can’t wait until she’s old enough so I can show her all the magic and love of cooking for yourself and others. More to come!
