Yes to Tofu!

We ventured out and had a 'Yes-We'll-Try-Tofu' night with Cara! She had told me how she was going to try and cook with it this week, and we thought we'd follow in her footsteps. After heading to Hy-Vee & Trader Joe's, we had everything we needed.

A blog post wouldn't be complete without Emma pictures. We are so blessed to be able to use our church nursery during the weekday mornings to let our kids burn off some energy. Emma is a big fan of all the toys but hasn't quite got used to non-carpeted floors. In time :)

Last, this is the week we've been waiting for...... We FINALLY get to find out if the Udey household will gain another lady or gentleman in a few months! We found out, I think, around 18 weeks with Emma; so this waiting until 21 weeks has been tough!
