BabyCenter.com update:
"Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.
She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming."
Well when I think about figs I cant help but think of my mentor Joyce. Joyce was assigned as my mentor three years ago. We have a wonderful relationship and she still returns weekly to my school to check on me or bring me treats. I am not sure there is another mentor quite as amazing and loving as her. I feel so blessed to have her in my life. So, why do I think of Joyce when figs are mentioned? Well, Joyce fed me my first ever fig! First in a jam spread on brie cheese- AMAZING and then fresh fig. If you have never tasted a sweet ripe fig you need to! Thank you Joyce for taking such good care of me and for expanding my taste pallet!
A fig is almost the size of an Easter Egg...
This year for Easter we had to Wojcik family with us. (Including: Judi, Chris, Andrew, James, and Sarah) We did the traditional Easter events like going to church, dying Easter eggs, (Yes Grandmolly, I missed you!) went on an egg hunt, and of course grilled hot dogs on the grill for dinner. Okay so the hot dogs were not tradition but the weather was just perfect! Easter was a wonderful day to celebrate Jesus' resurrection into heaven!
Romans 1:4-5
And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.
This yeah, just like years in the past we did silk tie eggs! They are amazingly beautiful!
Here is how to do it:
Materials and ToolsSmall- to medium-size raw eggs
Glass or enamel pot
Silk ties, blouses, or boxers, cut into pieces large enough to cover an egg
White sheets (or pillowcases or old tablecloths), cut into pieces to cover silk-wrapped eggs
Twist ties
3 tablespoons of white vinegar
Warm water
Vegetable oil
Paper towels
Tongs or spoon
Silk Tie Easter Eggs How-To
1. Cut silk into a square (or a piece) large enough to wrap around a raw egg.
2. Wrap a raw egg with a piece of silk, making sure the printed side of the material is facing the egg. Silk can still be used if it doesn't fit perfectly around egg.
3. Place the silk-wrapped egg in a piece of white sheet, pillowcase, or old tablecloth and secure tightly with a twist-tie.
4. Place the egg(s) in an enamel or glass pot. Fill pot with water to cover eggs completely. Then, add three tablespoons of white vinegar.
5. Bring water to a boil, turn heat down, and simmer for 20 minutes (longer if you plan on eating the eggs).
6. Remove eggs from water with tongs or spoon and let cool.
7. Remove silk from cooled egg.
8. For shiny eggs, wipe with vegetable oil after completing step 7.
