Zzzzz

I came home from work yesterday to see these two guys sleeping soundly. Creed has been sick with double ear infections and Grandpa fell asleep with him.

Belated Father's Day

 

   We met Ryan at Sweetie Pies Ribeye in Decatur and ate dinner. It is a great place to meet  since it is just a little over an hour to get there for both parties. We had a nice visit. Creed has had a fever since his top teeth are coming in. His medicine makes him hyper. Kara thought he would be in bed by seven tonight, but Creed had other ideas about that.

Creed is always on the move. He loves to walk around our round coffee table and he can stand for a little bit by himself. He loves to knock down the tower of blocks that we build. He is also becoming a birdwatcher. He spotted a blue jay in our birdbath when I wasn't looking and said "B B."

Mom's Sirloin Souffle

Joe reminded me of this recipe that Mom used to make. It is kind of a deluxe meat loaf. I couldn't find my recipe so Aunt Bonnie mailed me a copy. It says to bake it for 2 1/2  hours and that would probably be fine, but I baked it a little bit less, about 2 hours and 10 minutes.  It will be a little burnt on top. And that is fine. It will still taste delicious.

Sirloin Souffle

Pour 2 cups of scalded milk over 6 slices of bread. Mix. Then add 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs hamburger. (I used ground sirloin.) Add salt and pepper to taste. Take half  of above and put in casserole dish. Put 1/2 can green chilie pepper (seeds removed) on top of beef. Put 1/2 lb. sliced cheese on top. Then add rest of beef. Repeat with another 1/2 can of chilie peppers and 1/4 lb of cheese. Pour 1 can mushroom soup and 1 can tomato sauce over top of all. Bake at 360 degrees for 2 1/2 hours.

If you prefer you can use regular green peppers instead of chili peppers.

Creed at 9 months

We watched Creed yesterday while Kara and Joey were painting their house. He was an absolute joy. We love this little boy. And Mike and I both heard him say Grandpa! Really, we did! And he can say bye-bye too.
