Data Daytime & Into the Night

afternoon cruise around the neighborhood....

The RED box arrived while we were away...
embarassing to say, but I somehow deleted Iphoto from our Mac
bye-bye 10,000 photos, photo books, & imovies : (
pause for gasps & cringes (& tears from me!)....
We do thankfully have pretty much all our photos backed up on cd's...
except our recent Cali trip :(
So we waited for Drew to arrive home to begin the process of data recovery!
after starting the data recovery process, we went for a walk
& stopped to watch the fountains &...

eat ice cream sundae with sprinkles...

of course a big YUM from Tater!!!
After we got back home, we continued the data recovery process...
Lots of continued prayers it will all be back by tomorrow morning!!

Green Monster Smoothie

So we are trying to make healthier food choices & this is one of the ways we get Tater to eat her greens too!  It is super yummy, packed with nutrients, and easy to make! We adapted the recipe to make it 2 servings instead of 4.

Makes 2 servings:
1 cup vanilla rice milk
1/2 batch of fresh spinach (we use organic, roughly 2 cups)
1 large RIPE banana (the riper the better!)
1 to 2 tablespoon honey
12-15 ice cubes

Place all the ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth.
Serve with a tall straw....ENJOY!
