Life Changes

1st baby bump pic - 14weeks

So to those who don't know, we are expecting!! We will be welcoming Baby Bunnell in mid-May. We are so excited to start this new chapter in our lives and will be making some changes to accommodate. We are moving into our first apartment in 2 weeks! We weren't planning on moving until about March, but we found a good place and had to take advantage of it. I will post some pictures when we get all settled. We are grateful to have lived here with Grandma and Grandpa Thompson, and are grateful for their kindness. We are sad and nervous to leave, but know that this will be a good change.

Good Recipe

Tomato Tortellini Soup

1 pkg. refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cans (10-3/4 oz. each) condensed tomato soup (undiluted)

2 cups vegetable broth

2 cups 2% milk
2 cups half and half cream

1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. dried basil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Cook tortellini according to package.

Meanwhile, on the stovetop combine the soup, broth, milk, cream, tomatoes and seasonings. Heat through, stirring frequently. Drain tortellini; carefully add to soup. Stir in cheese. Sprinkle additional cheese to each serving if desired.

This was a really good soup and really easy to make. I did, however, make a few changes because I didn't have some things. I used 1% milk instead of 2%, I couldn't find any sun-dried tomatoes so I just cut some fresh ones into the soup and I used an Italian seasoning with basil in it because I didn't have just basil. It still turned out really good though!!

Funny Face

So thanks to Gina, I started and completed a wedding photo book from Shutterfly tonight! It hasbeen a long time coming. . . Anyway, as Kevin was looking at some of the wedding pics he noticed a funny face in one of the family pictures at the temple. I don't know how he caught it, but he cropped it nicely just for George to see :) And Jacob, I don't think he is very amused by this. . .
