The GPS, A Recipe Book, and The Tripp Tee....

My previous post was about our new jogging stroller. Well, for those of you who know Marc well, this "addition" to the jogging stroller won't surprise you one bit.

Marc put his "old" GPS watch on the handle of the stroller. Therefore, I will be able to tell exactly how fast I'm going, exactly how far I've gone, and the exact time I've been moving. It will also keep track of my route, so if I get lost, I'll have a path to get back to my original point (this hopefully won't happen around here at home, but if we're away from home, this could potentially be helpful).

So Andrea (my lovely walking partner), get ready for the digital device that will be traveling with us on our walks.

Here are some photos of the GPS on the jogging stroller handle.





Now, completely switching subjects....

One of my favorite gifts I have ever received is this "Family Recipe Book." My mother gave one to me and one to my sister-in-law, Amber, a number of years ago (before I met Marc). This 3-ring binder allows for a collection of family recipes -- however, I do have recipes from friends as well :)



It contains quite a few pages with which to write your favorite recipes.



It has some sheet protector pages to keep recipes in that might have been hand-written (from a relative) -- you know, those handwritten recipes you don't want to destroy.



It also has "pockets" with which to keep or store other recipes.



Overall, it's very handy, and I hope to collect many family/friend recipes over the years. Eventually, I'll be able to hand down the recipes for hopefully generations to come.

And, switching subjects again....

Yesterday at church, Jessica brought to me "The Tripp Tee" I ordered from "The Cora Shop." It's a tee-shirt with a caterpillar on it -- very boyish!

Today, Luke wore it. It's a little big yet, but that's O.K. He'll be able to grow into it this summer. When he has it on, I hope to always tell him about little Cora and the life she had that changed all of those around her and those not around her was well. Even after he's outgrown it, I hope to always tell him about little Cora :)

I didn't get the best of photos of him in it. Perhaps next time he wears it...



Even though it had food on it, he wore it to "Kindermusik" this evening. I've been told that Cora absolutely LOVED going to "Kindermusik." What a great place to wear his new tee-shirt.

In this photo, he had just received a new shaker to explore. He never did really want to shake it this evening. He just wanted to eat it -- much like everything else he has in his hands these days.
