Sweet Cecily on her birthday

I can't believe I never posted this!  I just discovered this draft from Nov. 2011.  Well, enjoy it now and see how much Cecily (and all the kids) has grown!

Here is a little glimps of our summer that passed too fast.  Before my parents so graciously gave us their gas grill,we did all our grilling on our fire-pit. 

 

We have a marinated chicken on the rotisserie, sweet potatoes on the lower level, home-style potatoes in the cast iron pan with a lid (which had been under the chicken to catch the drippings), and bell peppers thrown on in at in the end.  I think we also had grilled okra that night--which was FANTASTIC!  We will never do okra another way, I think.  We also tried grilled zucchini: really good, and grilled beet slices: amazing!  The kids don't like the "black stuff" from the grilling, but that just meant that Craig and I got to eat those parts and they are the best parts anyway.  :)
