I brought Busboys from DC to Detroit!

Some of my Sorors and I went to Washington D.C. to enjoy the Centennial of our fabulous Sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, Inc.  We had a BLAST!  It's always nice to spend time with my Sorors. 

So while we were there, we fell in love with this restaurant called Busboys and Poets. I ended up getting an Orzo pasta which was so good that I ended up looking up a similar recipe online when I returned home.  It actually turned out pretty good! This will definitely be kept in the rotation.

Busboys and Poets dish is made with orzo pasta, sweet potatoes, asparagus, shallots, shiitake, red pepper and kale, and tossed in a tomato olive oil sauce.

I didn't have sweet potatoes in mine, but everything else I attempted to mimic.

10 Months and walking! Go Morgan Go!

My baby got her first tooth (9/7/13), and started walking (9/12/13) all within a week!  I don’t know if I can take it.   We knew that she was ready to walk, so we started to encourage her little by little, and next thing we knew she began walking on her own.  It’s really cute that she is now starting to also evolve into her own little personality.  Big bother, Joshua tries to bully her some, but she does not take any mess from him!  As soon as she starts to play with a toy, there is Joshua to take it away from her.  We are trying to teach him how to share.  Sometimes he is in a sharing mood, and sometimes he isn’t.  I used to be Morgan’s voice, and stick up for her when Joshua takes all the toys from her, but now I sit back a little because I am finding that Morgan is capable of taking up for herself when it comes to big brother! :)

Oh, by the way, pay no attention to the baby talk Joshua is doing.  He tends to try to convert back to his baby days when we give Morgan a lot of attention.  Here we were trying to capture her walking on video, but Joshua didn't like the attention off of him, so the baby talk began.  We, of course spread the love and attention across the board.  There is so much of it to give, so there is plenty to go around!
