Autumn is here!

Fall is in the air and with that came a huge milestone. Aubrey started grade 1; our baby girl is growing up.

She did so well. We are proud of our girl.

Another highlight of our week was Jeff's birthday. The kids were so excited. Liam woke up singing happy birthday daddy.
One of our family favourites is the breakfast sandwich. Grilled ham, melted cheese, a runny egg and a perfectly toasted English muffin; yum! We also love the addition of thinly  sliced tomato and spinach leaves.
We celebrated Jeff's birthday at the breakfast hour; including "cupcakes" also known as banana muffins. This is what you do with shift work; improvise! 

Tonight started out a little quieter than usual; just me and Liam. I was cleaning up from our dinner and when I came around the corner I found him like this! He was flipping the pages and giggling to himself. What a sweet heart.
After dinner I whipped up my favourite fall treat; chocolate zucchini muffins.  I went on my own blog to get the recipe; I found that humorous!  I ended up having only 1 cup of shredded zucchini so I added a bit of shredded carrot too.
I baked these at 350F for 40 minutes. 

This is the best recipe I've ever found for chocolate zucchini muffins. I couldn't of even told you there was carrot either. I used one cup of zucchini and 1/2 cup of carrot.

Now to relax; what a week it has been. I am so grateful as I sit and reflect on all the amazing things; some would seem big and some may seem small but I choose to see the miracles in the middle of it all. 
Night!
