Today went by pretty fast. We did the weekly shopping trip minus the farmer's market. It took most of the morning and into the early afternoon. The boy's were real troopers so I bought them some Bionicles to get them through it all. Austin sat in the cart for the last two stores. We came home and had some lunch and then the boys did some playing and wrestling. We made banana bread yesterday so it was ready for today. Austin liked it and Alex: "No thanks". I bought some raw ice cream instead of making it and they both loved it! Me too, except I only got a spoonful.
We went to the park in the late afternoon after it cooled down a little. We made Peppermint Truffles this evening and they were divine. It is definately my favorite of all the chocolate we've had yet. Will have to make those a lot when I get home. Don't you want some? We prepped some of the food for the start of my raw chef certification dishes. We are starting tomorrow and should be done by Thursday. YEAH!!
Friday we are heading into Atlanta to stay in a hotel until Sunday so we can go to the dinosaur museum and the aquarium. I think it will be a great ending to this little journey we've been on. Pam who is from Texas and came for our two week immersion to help out, offered to go with us into Atlanta. That should make it SO MUCH easier. Pam is a Special Education Teacher as well as a Living on Live Food Raw Food Teacher and the boys love her. YEAH!!
Ok, can you tell I feel better? Two YEAH's in one blog who knew?!! There are a lot of little things that I've noticed with both kids just today. Austin's brain is a little more clear thinking; he has some auditory processing issues and I think this is doing something- at least in the beginning stages of something. Alex, he is less inclined to really make a career out of being mad. Just today I noticed that tickling him can diffuse a situation a lot faster than even two days ago. He is also conversing with me more hmmmm...
The little things build on each other until they make something bigger. I am very excited to see where this goes as we continue to stay raw and incorporate some other things into the diet. Take good care.

Jeff,
You are one crazy dude. "Chefy Jeffy." You've read way too many Dr. Seuss books. Or you better stop stiffen the glue. :-)
Julia,
I just noticed this comments link so I will start using it. I'm like Robin. I need my blog fix every night. Every thing sounds so yummy and I cannot wait for you to come home and make it for us. All of our raw pizza crusts and granola are gone so I just ended up eating a salad tonight. The house remodel is looking amazing and I cannot wait for you to see it. It will literally be like coming back to a brand-new house. That is if they finish on time. It looks like they will be ready to start texturing tomorrow which is right on schedule.
The boys are going to lose their minds when they see a real dinosaur skeleton. I'm really sad that I will not be able to see the reaction in person so please try to capture that on film. I'm jealous because I would love to see these dinosaurs as well.

And speaking of blog fix, where for art thou julio (hoo-lee-oh)? It be Wednesday and this place is a ghost town. But I'm sure you have a good excuse.
Aaron, sounds like your happy with the way the house is going. That sounds great.
Alright, later.
