Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Ahhhh…..life with a newborn.  So beautiful and such a nightmare at the same time.  I think our Father in Heaven made little babies so adorable and smell so completely wonderful so we would have the patience needed to be up with them all night long.

How can I be upset with a face like this?  In fact, knowing she is our last baby makes me want to enjoy every minute I’m up with her and keep her from ever growing up.
Now keep me in your prayers….my Mom and Dad are leaving on Monday.  I don’t know how they think they can just leave me here with six children?!?!?  I could have never survived these first few weeks without them.  I am so blessed to have amazing parents who love my kids as much as I do!

Please know that all recipes posted over the next few weeks were all done before the arrival of baby #6.  I stocked up on baked goods and pictures before she was born knowing I wouldn’t be up for any baking after her arrival.  These cookies were made for my chocolate-loathing son.  I loved the addition of oatmeal to a regular peanut butter cookie.  My only complaint is that their shelf life is just a couple of days then they dry out…..so eat ’em fast!!!

    The cookies sound WONDERFUL, but that baby looks EVEN better! I can’t believe how ADORABLE she is! I just want to squeeze her. Maybe Grandma and Grandpa Jones will bring some squeezes for me 🙂
