Harker Family Reunion

Plans

My Mom pointed out to me about a month or so ago that Heavenly Father seems to move me a long my life plans faster than I would choose for myself.

I met the man of my dreams at 18 and fresh out of high school, not 23 with a degree and job.

I became pregnant with twins when I was just beginning to feel comfortable with the idea of one more.

And now I'm expecting my fourth baby! Despite the fact Matty and I planned to wait one more year. Despite the fact I was taking birth control.

And we are so excited! 

I had a distinct impression when it was time to have our first baby and then when it was time to add another (which of course turned out to be two babies). And this time I've had that same feeling but it has come afterwards as a feeling of confirmation that this is what Heavenly Father knows is right for our family.

The baby's (babies'?) due date is March 4, which was Jonas' as well! 

Killer Sandwiches

I cannot believe I put off trying slow roasted oven tomatoes so long. They have changed lunch forever.

If roasting bland grocery store tomatoes in the oven gives them this much flavour, I can't even imagine what it could do for delicious garden tomatoes!

Amazing Simple Pasta

We haven't been able to get enough of this pasta over the past two months:

Make sure to use good tagliatelle 

(Superstore has a new line of pasta that comes in black boxes and it's great).

It's only 10 minutes from start to finish.
