Joanna first go at using her Christmas present was a complete success!!  Delicious bread made while we slept.

Turns out our bread make makes the tallest bread in the world.  Didn't say that on the outside of the box.

I wouldn't generally make a big deal of this except that I happened to notice.  And that in itself is kind of a milestone, an automotive awareness milestone.

Big news, after months without a functional dishwasher and every invitation over for dinner having the addendum WYOD (wash your own dishes).  The new dishwasher is finally functional.  Woohoo. 

As proof that the diswasher is working in this picture I'd like to call your attention to the two little red lights.  Undeniable proof.
