Baby, Baby!
As mentioned last week, I went and had our sweet Miss Camryn last Wednesday. She is beyond precious and although the chaos of life with four little boys and now a little girl has not ended, we are absolutely eating up our time with a cuddly, snuggly, sweet-smelling newborn.
Because I am spending eternal amounts of time parked on the couch feeding the babe and simultaneously attempting to read books and give the dudes their allotment of attention, I will be checked out of blogging – hit and miss here and there – for a bit. But I wanted to let you all know that while I may be a little slow in answering comments and questions, I am nothing if not prepared, and I worked around the clock before Camryn arrived to post recipes regularly for you – all of which are currently prescheduled and waiting in queue for your viewing pleasure. And I have to say there are some doozies coming up. So while I may be in and out of blogging for awhile, continue to enjoy the recipes that will be automatically posting and know I’ll be back in the saddle again soon.
But really, can you blame me for temporarily abandoning you for this?
Love your guts…all of you! Thanks for your support.
What a sweet baby girl! Congratulations! I love those very generously portioned cheeks. 😀 MMmm – cannot at all blame you for wanting to spend all your time snuggling that cute little babe. Her cheeks look edible . . . I’d snack on them all day. hahaha
Really happy for you and your family! She is beautiful.
So, so sweet! Enjoy that time parked on the couch with your new babe. It passes so quickly. Congrats! (I usually leave your blog hungry. Today I have an intense need to find a newborn to snuggle.)
Melanie, she is perfect! Congratulations on having another sweet bundle of joy. She is just beautiful! Thanks for serving us all so much, too. You are wonderful!!
Welcome, Camryn to our little bit of the Universe! You will be sooooo loved and looked after with Mom, Dad and four big brothers around you constantly waiting on you for every command.
Mel, enjoy all the moments you can with your new baby! We as blog watchers will be kept happy, I know.
Blessings on all of you!
CONGRATS! She is soooo beautiful! I love the dark hair! You are amazing. I’ll leave it at that. 😉
Congratulations, Mel (& fam)! She is so chunky and cute! And her hair! too precious. 🙂
She’s so beautiful! Can I have her???? Many blessings to all of you! Take good care of yourself too!
Congratulations! She’s beautiful!
What a true blessing! Enjoy your time with your family.
You’re awesome.
(and good job! your recipe for babies is TOPS)

SO glad you are taking a break! You need one! Congrats on your beautiful girl. Your dedication to this blog is an inspiration–I don’t know how you found the time to schedule recipes for your break. Thanks for all you do! Enjoy your beautiful new baby and time with your boys!
Congratulations! She is beyond beautiful :). Enjoy these precious days with your sweet baby girl!
Congratulations! She is beautiful. I know she’ll make a great sous-chef. Take care.
CONGRATS, Mel!! She is a gorgeous addition to your family! And, it is never to early to start whispering your best recipes in her sweet little ears!
I LOVE that you are abandoning us for such sweetness! I’m sure we will all survive 🙂
Blessings to you and that darling girl. Welcome to parenting girls…… oh so different …… 🙂
Congratulations on your little girl! You are truly a marvel. Caring for all those kids and a newborn and still looking after us to boot! And even if you don’t feel sometimes that everything you do is appreciated with the little ones, we certainly have appreciated all your help in helping to feed our families!!!
Hurrah!!! Congrats!! bring on the pink!!!!!! She is heaven!!
Beautiful! congratulations!!
Congrats! Every family needs atleast one little girl! My sister had 5 boys…and then gave up. I tell her every day she needs to try it one more time {I told her that with the last two…and they were both boys}. They will all make great missionaries on day! I have six little kiddos myself…one boy on each end and 4 girls in the middle. It will amaze you how different a little girl will be! I am excited for you!
Congrats on wee Camryn! I adore the name (it was on our short list for Missy Moo). Take all the time you need. Those squishable cheeks are reason enough to take time off. 🙂
what a blessing she is!!! enjoy your time, you know we will always be here!!
boy, that little girl is one lucky duck, with FOUR little knights who are going to spend their lives protecting her!
Oh my goodness she is so adorable and squishy! You do good work. Enjoy those little newborn snuggles!
She is beautiful. I have a girl too, you are so blessed.
Mel,
This is the first time that I have written, but I just wanted you to know that my heart sings when I think of you and your husband with your adorable newborn baby girl and those precious little boys. May God bless each of you!!
Also, thank you for all the wonderfully written recipes, detailed instructions, and pictures. I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy each of them and how I look forward to each and every post!! I am always amazed at those, like you, who are so willing to share their favorite recipes and talents with all of us. Thank you, Mel.
See if so beautiful. And yes, enjoy every second. You are a blessed family.
Oh my!!!!!!! She is adorable! And I love how she fills the lap of her big brother!! 🙂
You know…..it goes to show just how wonderful you are…for pre-scheduling recipes to come to us even when we would all understand WHY you’ve dropped off the face of the earth….but THANK YOU for doing that.
I wish there was something we could do for you during this busy busy time from behind our computers…..after all….you’ve helped us all tremendously in our cooking lives!
Just know that we are sending you lots and lots of strength and hugs to all your little ones.
Congratulations, she is beautiful.
Mel, your daughter is beautiful!! Congratulations!!
Oh my, what an adorable little girl! Congratulations and don’t feel a bit guilty about taking a break from blogging – your precious family is the most important. Thanks for all you do for your audience and don’t worry, we’ll be here when you get back. Enjoy this time!!!!!

Congrats, enjoy your time with the baby. She is adorable.
Congratulations, Mel! She’s beautiful! Enjoy every minute, and take lots of pictures. We’ll all want to see her and her brothers when you get back. 🙂
Congratulations!!!! She is gorgeous! Hope you get the chance to relax too! Rest when you can. Hugs to everyone! 🙂
Congrats on the new arrival and I hope you enjoy every moment of your baby! She is adorable. Good luck balancing everything in your life for the next little while…
Congratulations! She’s beautiful!
What a beautiful addition to your brood of boys! I bet they’re already so protective and adoring of her! Congratulations to you all!
How very precious! Love her name and her hair! Thanks for thinking of us… don’t know what I’d do without your blog! Jo
Precious. I am so happy for all of you!!!!
When I had my last baby I realized that dishes and laundry and errands and cooking and cleaning and homework and chaos are always there BUT a newborn is not. So enjoy her, put life on pause as long as you can and stick your lips into that newborn neck and kiss away. Oh those cheeks. We love your guts right back.
Congrats! Enjoy the extra snuggling! All is right with the world when one is holding a sleeping baby. 🙂
Holy crap. That is a cute newborn. You don’t find many of those!
Congratulations Mel and family, what a beautiful child. Lovely name, too. Thank you from all of us for your efforts here. Love your blog and recipes. Big (((hugs))) to you all.
Congrats! She is a doll! Enjoy every last minute you have with her! Thanks so much for your awesome blog! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, this is my go-to blog for recipes. Seriously 90% of recipes I make that aren’t family ones are from this blog and it never fails when I take one of your recipes somewhere for others to eat that I have to send them your way ’cause they wanna know where I got it. You are the best!
Congratulations! She is so precious- I just want to squish those little cheeks! Thank you for all of your fabulous recipes, and enjoy your time with your family.
She is beautiful. Congrats to your family!! 🙂
What a wonderful blessing! Congratulations, my dear.
she’s beautiful. congratulations and enjoy your time off!!
She is adorable! Congratulations, Mel!
