grilling in the rain, just grilling in the rain

so much for the days of sun and warm weather...tonight brought zane to the grill outside in layers and a fun hat, attempting to grill our 2nd dinner this week of steak tips :)we thought we'd finally get in a picture of our dogs...the smaller one (she's about 2 yrs old) is marley and the bigger one on the left is kingston (about a year old we think). cleo, the cat, was inthe background in the kitchen, but at the last second she ran off. cats....not much new to report. tomorrow/today i hit 14 weeks. some say this is the official mark of the second trimester, others say it was last week. either way, YAY!!

to follow up on zane's food entry last time: so far, there have definitely been foods that are on my top 10 (15? 40?) list...the favorites...
*strawberries. in any form.
*milk...but it's starting to hurt my stomach, so i'm laying off it a bit
*cocoa dyno bites. :) the generic form of cocoa pebbles. (there's that pesky milk again)
*green apples
*green grapes
*cranberry juice with a splash of orange juice
*ice cream-first it was mint chocolate chip. now it's cookies'n'cream.
*peas. raw. sugar snap and snow.
*baby carrots and ranch dip (the dogs got a treat yesterday when i threw a fit yesterday because we didn't have any dip...i threw the carrot bag into the fridge, it broke open and there was a feast on the floor :))
*french fries...well, i crave them, but they dont make me feel great either, so i try to stay away
*pineapple...again a craving i'm trying to ignore
*gummy bears, smarties, and tootsie rolls
*and lastly, a shocker...bananas. i'm willing myself to like them (or tolerate them). haven't gotten very far, but i'm not giving up. :)

as the weeks go on, hopefully more and more of zane's healthy influence will rub off on me. if all else fails, this little piggy will have a fit father ;)

love to all, the walshes
