Chef Mateo

Nona bought Mateo this really cute Guatemalan chef outfit from Catholic Relief Services for Christmas last year. He is really enjoying hanging out with anyone in the kitchen.

It came with the apron, the hat, and a wooden spoon. The spoon is much more fun to use as a sword in the air!

Montessori preschool has encouraged Mateo to do everything he is able...so he really enjoys stirring in a big bowl, just like Mommy does!

Sous Chef now, but just wait....he'll be a gourmet chef in the future, I'm certain of that!

Love from the Miller Kitchen

Has it really been a month?? Where does the time go????

There have been a few blessed days of sunshine in the past month. Mateo and I took opportunity to hang out on the deck--which we still love! Mama needs all the Vitamin D deposits she can get...and Mateo just loves to play!

Thanks to Cole & Ellie who gave Mateo bug tattoos for a present lately...he has been wearing them with much pride!

Bug tattoos everywhere...good thing the kid only gets a bath like twice a week...they last longer that way!! :)

The crocuses have come up. It is always such a nice surprise for me. About the time that I think winter will go on forever and then one day, I look at the base of the lilac garden, and the crocuses are in full bloom.

Such a glorious burst of color which means the weather is getting better. Yeah for spring!!!

Love from Oregon, Sarah & the boys!!
