Waldchen Essentials

We have a program at church called “Loaves and Dishes” that’s purpose is to provide meals to families who recently had babies. This is how it works: A signup sheet is put out a few weeks before the baby is due. People sign up and then are contacted by the L&D coordinator who then works out the dates of when they’ll drop off a meal. After a few days, the free food starts rollin’ in! I must say, I’m extremely thankful for all the meals that people have cooked for us so far. Quiche and soup, pork chops with pears and potatoes, pasta, and a fantastic oriental-chicken-noodle dish from the Zimmermans complete with homemade bread. Mmmmm. It’s all been very good, even from people whose kitchen habits I didn’t have time to check. 😉 Since Jenny has been recovering, and it’s been too cold to start grilling (where I do most of my cooking), these meals have been a huge blessing. Hopefully this gravy train won’t end too soon…

If you’re reading this, you’ve obviously discovered the redesigned Waldchen homepage. I had been dissatisfied for quite a while with the image gallery-only website, but it wasn’t until the birth of Elise that I finally got motivated to do something about it. I’m envisioning this new website as a place where Jenny and I can keep friends and family members informed of everything that’s going on with us, and especially with what’s going on with baby Elise. 🙂 You’ll be able to register (see the box to the right) which will enable you to post your own comments.

The photo gallery has also been redesigned, and like the main website, it’s still a work in progress. If you have any comments about the website or the gallery, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I promise I’ll try to prevent this from becoming Yet Another Boring Blog On The Internet. 🙂
