Our little baby is growing up! Sorry, I haven't been posting much lately - Tim has had time off from work and if I have to hear "Are you 'forum'-ing AGAIN?!" one more time, I'm going to head to a divorce lawyer :)

Anyway - back to the more important stuff - Ryu's ONE year old today!!! Here's a tribute to our very hectic, but memorable year together:

At 7 weeks, the day we picked him up (Nov 27, 2007):

    Thanks everyone!! We had a good time :)

    As for the pumpkin cookies, here's the recipe:

    INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

    * 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    * 2 eggs
    * 1 cup canned pumpkin
    * 2 tablespoons peanut butter
    * 1/2 teaspoon salt
    * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    2. Whisk together the flour, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick roll. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
    3. Bake in preheated oven until hard, about 40 minutes.

    :D
