If you are at all like me and agree that the combo of chocolate and peanut butter is a perfect pair, then the above cake is worth a try!! My dad had my name in our family Christmas pollyanna this year and he gave me a Bon Appetit dessert cookbook because he knows I love baking, and more specifically eating, desserts. So, as part of his recent birthday present, I had him pick out a cake so I could give the new book a trial run. The recipe he picked is called "Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cake with Cream Cheese and Butterfinger Frosting" and you can find the recipe here. It is definitely a somewhat involved cake to make, but not necessarily difficult, and if I can make one with a 5 week old, I think you can too! My only complaint is that the actual cake part was kind of dry, but I think that could be fixed the next time by taking it out of the oven a little sooner. Anyway, just had to share because it was so very good!!
Here are a bunch more recent, random pictures of our life these days...

This cake looks delicious! The filling looks especially yummy. Mark's birthday is on Friday and I need some ideas for cake for him...I might try something like this.
I love the pictures of your two older boys with Micah. They look so sweet with him!

not so sure about mitch's facial addition(sorry mitch)...i like the 5 o'clock or nothing;) but it's only your opinion that matters
i am wondering how quickly Micah is nursing b/c noah was 6 and 4 and that saved you since Caleb took so long...maybe you're doing more formula?? well, i miss you!!! you are doing awesome...no doubt!!
