Rico

Here is the ever fashionable Rico. At the girls softball game I found him like this. He picked up one of the players glasses and tried them on. Not bad.
Rico started working Monday and Tuesdays at Goodwill. Last report he is doing very well with putting CD cases together. He seems to enjoy it. He has his own ID card now it looks just like a license and he also has his own access card to get into his job. Pretty professional he is.
He still really likes Barney although he likes other more grown up things as well. We had his senior pictures taken and we will be picking them up soon. He looks very handsome and so much older in the pics. He continues to be very socialable at school and sits all over the place with whoever he chooses at lunch at his school. So all in all Rico is doing well.

Chicken and Dumplings

 

Yesterday I was watching "Tyler's Ultimate". Tyler Florence is a chef on the "Food Network" channel. This time he made The Ultimate Chicken and Dumplings. I decided to give it a try. I printed out the recipe and got to work.
I had a fun time making this meal. Number one I was hungry for something soupy because of this rain. And number two we had no plans for the evening and knew I could take my time makeing this recipe. The meal turned out wonderfully and everyone liked it a lot. Now it's always fun when you make something new and everyone likes it that's no small thing around here pleasing everyone. We sat down to eat and I looked at my plate and thought I need to take a picture of this. The kids laughed at me. I said hey when you guys do something fab you like to take pics of it and it's the same with me. So here it is. And by the way did you miss me? I wonder how long it will take for someone to check my blog and see I actually update. Whoever stops by please leave me a note. =)
