Just a quick update on Cub 2. He had his first birthday!!! He is doing really well. For a baby that is devolopmentaly delayed, he isn't that far behind where his brothers were at the same age. He is standing up against the furniture and cruizing the furniture. He says mama, but that is his only sound and he hasn't realized that is my name, he just says it because that is all he can say.
He has been a little sick lately. He had croup the day after his one year well baby check. Now he has a double ear ache! He is having high fevers and is not a happy little dude.

Chocolate Heaven
If you are having a chocolate craving this is the desert to make! I got this from the book Ten-Cow Wives' Club by Joni Hilton, obviously a reference to Johnny Lingo.
Chocolate Heaven
(Small Batch-Not Zoo Sized)
1 cup flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup sugar
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
½ cup milk
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 ¾ cups hot water
Vanilla ice cream, optional (Don't skip this, it is so yummy!)
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and 3 Tablespoons cocoa in a large bowl. Stir in the milk and oil until smooth. Pour into greased 8-inch square baking pan. Combine the brown sugar and 3 Tablespoons cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over top, but do not stir. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. It makes its own sauce, so serve it in bowls.
Serves 6-8.
