Craving: Fruit & Butter

My grandmother used to make the most sinfully delicious and easiest dessert of all time, dump cake.  Seriously, it was so easy, she would put my little brother and I in charge of making it.  When I was like 8.  And he was seriously 4.  Then, a few years ago, there was the sweetest lady at the church I played at who made her own version of a dump cake and would make it for me all the time.  Fast forward to just over a week ago, I find myself at a rehearsal dinner in the Texas hill country eating blackberry cobbler.  So, now I can't get it out of my mind.  

I need butter and fruit.  Stat.

Here are some particularly delicious looking recipes:

Blueberry Crunch Dump Cake

Stone Fruit Cobbler

Boy or girl??

Well, we've got big news over here!  After two agreeing ultrasounds and a few weeks of private jubilation, we're so very excited to announce that our little Lombardo baby is a GIRL!

I'll tell you that I was pretty shocked as I had myself pretty much convinced it was a boy.  But I think that made the revelation just that more exciting!  Our hearts are overflowing, we are completely over the moon, and we are so excited!

Let the shopping begin...
