March Madness

Abigail had fun rooting for Ohio State during their 3rd round game against Iowa State today. OSU won 78-75 with an exciting 3 point shot made in the very last second. Aunt Marci gave Robert this adorable onesie for his birthday -- a brave and generous gift from a girl whose husband is from Michigan. :) Can you see how the babies are spelling out O-H-I-O? I think Abby makes a darling little cheerleader.

In other news, I recently made the most delicious Lemon Rosemary Scones. Somehow this is the first time I've ever made scones. Here's a link along with my usual picture taken from the website...I really need to be better about remembering to take pictures of my own creations.

Robert loves all things rosemary so the moment I saw the recipe I knew I had to give it a try. Next time I'm going to tweak it a little to make Cherry Almond ones, which are my most favorite scones ever from the BonBonerie in Cincinnati.

I was baking for my friend Mandy's Breakfast at Tiffany's party two nights ago. She's obsessed with the movie and apparently there's a new Breakfast at Tiffany's Broadway show in New York City that she's flying out to see next weekend. In order to mark the occasion, she decided to have a group of girlfriends over for our own breakfast night. We were greeted at the door with a mimosa and then ushered into the kitchen where there was a delicious spread of breakfast goodies: biscuits and gravy (Mandy is a Texas girl!), cheesy grits, baked French toast, cheesy potato and sausage casserole, and an assortment of tasty baked treats. Yum. The movie was playing in the background while we ate and chatted. I thought it was a really fun idea and plan on copying it in the future. Here's a picture from the night. We're showing off our "bling" -- cheap plastic glow rings. :)

Back to today...we're now gearing up for our 2nd basketball game: Kansas v. North Carolina in about an hour. We just changed Abigail into her KU cheerleader dress from Aunt Karen. She's been a good luck charm for Wichita State and Ohio State so hopefully she can do the same for the Jayhawks!
